This lesson plan teaches students about complex sentences using dependent and independent clauses. It includes objectives, content on complex sentences, learning resources like textbooks and pictures, and procedures for reviewing concepts and having students practice identifying and writing complex sentences. Activities include students working in groups to identify clauses, create complex sentences using conjunctions, and write their own complex sentences. The lesson concludes with an evaluation of student understanding of complex sentences.

A. Reviewing previous lesson or presenting the new lesson
1.Look at the group of words. What are they? (clauses)
What do we call them? (Independent clause/dependent clause)
B. Establishing a purpose for the lesson
Show a picture of a mother hugging her child.
a. Ask: What does the mother do to her child?
Why do you think she is hugging the child?
b.Paste other pictures that show how a parent expresses
his/her love to the child. Say something about the pictures.
C. Presenting examples/instances of the new lesson
At the end of this lesson you will be able to use complex sentences to show problem- solution relationship of ideas
D. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #1
B.Explaining to the students what to do
1.Present the following sentences. Have the pupils read these.
a. I shall not go home unless mother comes back.
b. I like you because you are so friendly.
c. Susie will return the books after her class.
Ask the following questions:
•Which is the independent clause in each sentence?
•Which is the dependent clause in each sentence?
•What word was used to connect the independent clause to the dependent clause in the first sentence? second sentence? third sentence?
E. Discussing new concepts and practicing new skills #2
.Modelling for Students
1. Let the pupils read the following examples
a.Study hard so that you will pass the exam
b.She succeeded although she encountered many problems.
•A complex sentence is composed of one independent clause and one or two dependent clauses.
•An independent clause is a simple sentence by itself. It gives a complete meaning. It
can stand alone.
•A dependent clause does not give a complete thought. It cannot stand alone. It depends on an independent clause to complete its meaning.
Example: I love you because you love me, too.
I love you is an independent clause. It gives a complete thought.
because you love me, too is the dependent clause. It doesn’t make sense. Because you love me, too - what
F. Developing mastery
(Leads to Formative Assessment 3)
D.Guided Practice
a.The teacher shows examples of complex sentences
b.From the examples of complex sentences, the teacher asks the pupils to identify the independent clause/dependent clause
