Essential Question.
I can recognize the distinguishing feature of a sentence.

Performance Objective
After the activity, students will be able to capitalize appropriate words and finish with punctuation with 80% accuracy.

Assessment
A 4 question summative test where the students will have to circle the errors in a sentence already written and then rewrite sentence with corrections made.

Opening Session.
Gain Attention: To gain their attention I will clap my hands 5 times in a certain rhythm and each time I do it they have to repeat. Students are expected to keep all eyes on me at all times with no talking or interrupting.

Prior Knowledge: Students should have prior knowledge of capital and lower case letters, proper nouns and punctuation marks.

Opening Session..
Lesson Objective: Today, we will learn about what every sentence needs. Every sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a period. We will also focus on other words that should be capital in the middle of a sentence.

Instruction..
Identify Concept: Sentence structure including punctuation and capitalization (auditory is saying it aloud and visual will be writing examples on the board and worksheet with first problem solved on smart broad).

Define Concept: Start beginning of a sentence and proper nouns with a capital letter instead of lower case. Also, each sentence ends with a punctuation mark. A punctuation mark ends a sentence and tells you how the sentence was said.

Instruction..
Explain Concept: You begin every sentence with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark. Proper nouns, including names, days of the week, months, holidays, cities and states, should be capital even though it is in the middle of a sentence. Always capitalize the letter I at the beginning and in the middle of every sentence. Lastly, you should end every sentence with a punctuation mark. Every sentence ends with a period, every question ends with a question mark, and when shouting use exclamation mark.

Instruction..
Provide Example: Examples of proper nouns are the days of the week including: Monday Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Another example of months are: December, May, June and July. Examples of cities and states are: Atlanta, Georgia; New Orleans, Louisiana; and New York City, New York. You also have to capitalize everybody names; like mine Ms. Smith (use students names as examples). I need to use the restroom Ms. Smith, is an example of a sentence that needs a period. What happened to my pencil? is an example of a question that needs a question mark. Stop talking! is an example of something that needs an exclamation mark.

Instruction..
Provide Nonexamples: Some example of things that should not be capitalized are regular nouns, like the words: car, house, school, building, and park. They only become capital when you are talking about a specific person, place, or thing and you are naming it. The question What are you doing. is incorrect because it should have a question mark. Leave Me Alone? is incorrect because it should have an exclamation mark. I am hungry? is incorrect because it should have a period.

Differentiation Questions.
Lower level Bloom: What goes at the beginning of a sentence? (Low student) Lower Level Bloom: What goes at the end of a sentence? (Low student) Lower Level Bloom: What are some examples of words that should be capital? (Low to Middle student) Higher Level Bloom: How do you use question marks? How do you use exclamation marks? (High student)

Guided Practice
Students will divide into groups of four. When in groups, the student with the best handwriting will be assigned the job of writing. Each group will be given a worksheet with 4 simple sentences to correct. After discussing what every sentence needs and which corrections will be made, the writer will make these corrections and then rewrite the sentence. I will go over number one of the board and make sure all groups have that one correct. After they are finished with one question they will raise their hand so someone can check it. After the question has been checked if it is right the group can move on to next question. If 3 out of 4 sentences are correct each member of the group will receive an Oreo. Incorrect group will have the chance to correct their sentences and earn their cookies.

Summarizer..
Review. Lets do a quick review. What goes at the beginning of a sentence? Whole class responses. What goes at the end of a sentence? Whole class responses. When do you capitalize the letter I in a sentence? Whole class responses. Give me an example of a proper noun? Call on low level students. ..Preview Tomorrow we will another review on what every sentence needs then we will do a worksheet by yourself and there will be no food.
