Lesson Plan
Objective: Conjunctions
1) Science: The Water Cycle - In a lesson on the water cycle, students can use
conjunctions to describe processes and relationships, such as "Water evaporates
when it is heated, and it condenses when it cools." This extends the objective of
conjunctions to help students explain scientific concepts clearly, aligning with the
MELC competency of describing processes in various contexts.
ENGAGE:
2) Idea - Use storytelling where the teacher begins a story and pauses for students
to suggest conjunctions to connect their ideas, making it interactive.
EXPLORE:
Significance - This activity helps students identify and match conjunctions with
appropriate sentences, reinforcing their understanding of conjunction usage.
Instructions -
1) Divide students into pairs and give each pair a set of cards.
3) After matching, pairs will present their matched sentences to the class.

EVALUATE:
H.O.T.S.:
Question 2 - How would your writing change if you didn't use conjunctions?
Answer 2 - Without conjunctions, writing would be choppy and less fluid, making it
harder to convey complete thoughts.
Question 3 - Can you think of a situation where using the wrong conjunction changed
the meaning of a sentence?
Answer 3 - Yes, using "but" instead of "and" can imply a contrast rather than a
connection, altering the intended message.
Assignment:
Assignment 1: Write a short story using at least ten different conjunctions.
Assessment Question: How did the conjunctions you used improve the flow of your
story?
[Guiding Overview for the Teacher:] Encourage students to think about how
conjunctions can clarify relationships between ideas in conversations.
Assessment Question: What role did the conjunctions play in your dialogue?
