That is good to know, class.

 3. Attendance

B. Motivation
Stretch Out Sentences Activity: Sample Stretch Out Sentences Box:
The teacher places four mystery boxes
each labeled with the corresponding
terms: Who? What? Where? When?

Direction:
The teacher places each box on the front
table containing word cards that belonged
to each label of the assigned box. Have the
students pick out from each box in order
to let them stretch out or add more details
from the chosen word card from the box.

For example, if whatever words the Sample Activity Answer:

sentence, thus letting them expand their
sentences with each word they pick out
from the box.

The teacher calls students at random. The students raise their hands to volunteer
for the stretch out sentences activity.

Motivational Questions:
 What is the first word that you have The student read out loud the word for the

you to add more details or expand your
sentences?

That’s right!

It is called sentence expansion, class. Let

your answer through this short activity.

C. Presentation of the Topic

activity.

First word set First word answer: SENTENCE

Second word set Second word answer: EXPANSION

Very good!

Have you noticed that there are sentences Yes, ma’am.

that are very long and detailed?
Have you noticed that in just one sentence Yes, ma’am.
alone, you will understand and get so
much information from it?

As you try to write your sentence, you also

wanted to add details to it. You tend to
combine ideas in just one sentence to
inform the readers.

And by adding these details and ideas,

you move the readers away from the
general experiences toward a visualization
of things. It makes the sentence richer.

There are so many ways to add detail to

sentences in order to expand it, class.

Setting Objectives for Students:

But before we continue, we have objectives
for our class to reach.

Let us all read our goals for today, class. The students read today’s goals found on
the board.
Objectives:
A. Add more ideas to given sentences
for expansion
B. Value the significance of expanding
sentences
C. Construct meaningful expanded
sentences

D. Unlocking of Difficulties

lesson, let us first define some difficult
words that we might encounter.

Direction:
Match column A to column B to define the
difficult words.

1. Gullible Gullible means a person who is easily

Sentence: She is such a gullible person persuaded to believe something.

anything you want to know about the
topic?

E. Discussion

Direction:
For 15 minutes, expand the sentences as
with conjunction. Adding details or
combining ideas to expand sentences to
give a more visual outlook of the
sentences.
We can expand sentences by doing the
following techniques that have been
discussed earlier, like using compound
subject, predicate and objective, using
appositives and also phrases and clauses.
We can also add adjectives to sentences to
expand it and give more detail.
we can give more details to the readers,
especially when we are the writers to the
sentences. Sometimes, adding more details
and information can move the readers and
give them a much more realistic or
visualized thought on the idea that we
want to deliver to our audience. We can
develop the traits of being imaginative in
constructing our sentence. We can also
develop our sense of expansiveness in
constructing sentences.
