verbs as they can think of in one minute.

Establishing Lesson Purpose / Intention:


Today, we will delve into the world of verbs, which are essential for expressing
actions and states of being in our sentences. Understanding verbs will empower us
to create more dynamic and vivid sentences in our writing.

III. After the Lesson / Post-lesson Proper
Making Generalizations / Abstractions:
Today, we explored the importance of verbs in sentences and learned how they can
express actions, conditions, and states of being. By categorizing verbs and using
them in sentences, we gained a deeper understanding of their role in communication
and writing.

Assessment - Evaluating Learning:


Teaching Strategy: Direct Instruction

Questions:
1. What is a verb?
2. Name one type of verb and provide an example.
3. How do verbs contribute to sentence meaning?

For Higher Order Thinking Skills:

Questions:
1. How would a sentence change if the verb was altered?
2. Why do you think verbs are essential for effective communication?
3. Can you create a sentence using both an action verb and a linking verb?

Answers:
1. Changing the verb can significantly alter the action or meaning of the sentence.
2. Verbs allow us to express actions and states, making our communication clear
and dynamic.
3. For example, "The dog is running fast" uses "is" as a linking verb and "running" as
an action verb to convey a specific idea.

Additional Activities for Application / Remediation:


1. Write a short story at home using at least five different verbs. Illustrate the story if
