Subject: English

Grade Level: Grade 8

Objective:
1. Classify text types (narrative, expository, explanation, recount, persuasive).
I. Before the Lesson / Pre-lesson Proper

Learning within the curriculum:


1. Understanding Narrative Structures - Students will learn about the components of
narrative texts, which will help them identify characteristics of narratives in various
contexts.
2. Exploring Expository Texts - Students will examine how expository texts convey
information, setting a foundation for recognizing different text types.

Learning across the curriculum:


1. History - Students will analyze recount texts in historical narratives to understand
how events are portrayed and interpreted.
2. Science - In science, students will explore expository texts to learn how to present
factual information clearly and effectively.

Activating Prior Knowledge:


Teaching Strategy: Think-Pair-Share
Instructional Materials: None required.
Energizer 1: Text Type Match-Up - Students will be given examples of different text
types and will match them to their definitions in pairs.
Energizer 2: Quick Draw - Students will quickly draw an image that represents the
main idea of a narrative text they have read recently and share it with the class.

Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:


Today, we will classify different types of texts, allowing us to better understand how
authors convey their messages and engage readers. Recognizing these text types
will enhance our reading comprehension and writing skills, as it will help us choose
appropriate forms for our own writing.

Lesson Language Practice/Unlocking of Difficulties:


Key Terms:
1. Narrative
2. Expository
3. Persuasive

Key Concepts:
1. Each text type has distinct features that serve different purposes in
communication.
2. Understanding text types enhances comprehension and analysis of the material
read.
II. During the Lesson Proper

Reading the Key Idea:


Different text types serve unique purposes and have specific characteristics, making
it essential to classify them for better understanding and analysis.

Developing Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activities
Activity 1: Text Type Sorting
Teaching Strategy: Cooperative Learning
Materials: Index cards with examples of different text types.
Significance: Students will work in groups to categorize text examples, enhancing
their understanding of text features.

Instructions:
1. Divide students into small groups and provide each group with a set of index
cards.
2. Instruct them to sort the cards into categories based on text types.
3. Have each group share their classifications with the class.

Rubrics:
- Accuracy of Sorting: 5 pts.
- Group Collaboration: 5 pts.
- Clarity in Presentation: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What criteria did you use to sort the texts?
2. Can you provide an example of a text type and its characteristics?
3. How did your group reach consensus on the classifications?
Activity 2: Text Type Creation
Teaching Strategy: Project-Based Learning
Materials: Paper and writing tools.
Significance: Students will create their text examples, reinforcing their
understanding of text types through hands-on experience.

Instructions:
1. Assign each student a text type to create a brief example of (narrative, expository,
etc.).
2. Instruct them to write their text and illustrate its main idea.
3. Share their texts in small groups, discussing the features of each type.

Rubrics:
- Adherence to Text Type Characteristics: 5 pts.
- Creativity: 5 pts.
- Presentation Skills: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What text type did you create, and what are its main features?
2. How did you ensure your text fits the category?
3. What challenges did you face while creating your text?

Deepening Understanding of the Key Idea:

Activity: Text Type Analysis


Teaching Strategy: Inquiry-based Learning
Materials: Selected texts from various genres.
Significance: Students will analyze existing texts to identify their types and
characteristics, promoting critical thinking.

Instructions:
1. Distribute different texts to each group and ask them to identify the text type.
2. Have them discuss the features that led to their identification.
3. Present findings to the class.

Rubrics:
- Understanding of Text Features: 5 pts.
- Group Engagement: 5 pts.
- Quality of Analysis: 5 pts.

Assessment Questions:
1. What features helped you determine the text type?
2. How does the purpose of the text influence its structure?
3. Can you compare two different text types based on their characteristics?
III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper

Making Generalizations / Abstractions:


We learned that different text types, such as narrative, expository, explanation,
recount, and persuasive, each serve distinct purposes and have unique features.
Recognizing these differences enhances our reading comprehension and writing
abilities. Understanding text types allows us to analyze and create more effective
texts.
Assessment - Evaluating Learning:
Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. What are the key characteristics of a narrative text?
2. How does an expository text differ from a persuasive text?
3. Why is it important to classify text types?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How might the purpose of a text influence its structure and style?
2. Why is it essential to recognize different text types when reading?
3. How can understanding text types improve your writing?

Answers:
1. The purpose dictates the content and organization of the text; for example, a
persuasive text aims to convince, influencing its tone and structure.
2. Recognizing text types helps readers to approach texts with the right expectations,
enhancing comprehension and retention.
3. Understanding text types allows writers to choose appropriate formats, making
their writing clearer and more effective for the intended audience.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:


1. Write a short paragraph for each text type discussed in class and share it with a
family member. This can be done using any writing materials available at home.
