Parallelism is a figure of speech in which two or more elements of a sentence

(or series of sentences) have the same grammatical structure. Parallel


structure, or parallelism, means using the same pattern of words to show
that two or more words or ideas are of equal importance. Words and phrases
within a sentence should not only match in structure, but also in tense.
Writers use parallel structure to add clarity to their writing, make it easier to
understand and show that their writing is structurally and grammatically
correct.

- To improve the clarity of your writing, it is important to remember the


equality of your sentence structure.

- Parallel Structure means using the same construction for sentence


elements that are the same in function.

Objective:

The students will demonstrate understanding and application of parallel


structure in writing to enhance clarity and coherence.

Bloom’s Taxonomy Level:

- Remembering: Students will recognize instances of parallelism in


sentences.

- Understanding: They will explain the significance of parallel structure in


promoting clear writing.

- Applying: Students will practice using parallel structure in their own writing.

- Analyzing: They will identify errors in parallel structure and suggest


corrections.

- Creating: Students will generate sentences utilizing parallel structure to


effectively convey ideas.

Differentiated Activities:
1. Remembering:

- Students will review examples of sentences with and without parallel


structure, identifying those that exhibit parallelism.

2. Understanding:

- Through guided discussion, students will articulate reasons why parallel


structure is crucial for clear writing, supported by visual aids or real-life
examples.

3. Applying:

- Engaging in structured exercises, students will complete sentence


prompts, ensuring parallel structure is maintained throughout.

- Collaborative tasks will require pairs to compose sentences with parallel


structure based on provided topics or themes.

4. Analyzing:

- Given sentences with parallel structure errors, students will pinpoint these
errors and propose revisions to establish parallelism.

5. Creating:

- Students will craft paragraphs or short essays integrating parallel


structure to enhance coherence and clarity.

- A creative writing assignment will prompt students to develop a story or


poem incorporating parallel structure to improve flow and cohesion in their
narrative.
