Assessment of Student Learning:

(congruent with instructional objectives)
Objective 1: Check if the students have correctly circled the noun and verb
in the provided sentences.

Content Summary (One to two paragraphs describing the content to be presented. Do not restate lesson. Show what YOU
know about the content supplemental to lesson. )

A noun is a person, place, thing, or idea. Some examples of nouns are: boat, Mrs. Woodward, boy, and shoe. Two types of
nouns are singular and plural. Singular nouns are a single person, place, or thing. Some examples of singular nouns are: cat,
pretzel, and bottle. Plural nouns are more than one person, place, or thing. Some examples of plural nouns are: dogs, shoes, and
chairs. Verbs are action words or a state of being. Some examples of verbs are: run, drink, and sleep. When there is a plural
noun, the verb should stand-alone. For example, “The girls ride the bus.” When there is a singular noun, the verb should end
with a ‘s’. For example, “The girl rides the bus.” Nouns and verbs are parts of speech. Parts of speeches are important to
identify to help us with reading, speaking, and writing.

SG EL Grammar Lesson Reflection

Name: Olivia Noboa Taught: November 20, 2017

Overview of Lesson: (topic, total # of students, # of ELs within group, sequence of events (summary of
lesson))
In this lesson, we had our two ELs, Maribell and Eric. We discussed two parts of speech: nouns and
verbs. I defined nouns and verbs and listed examples. Then, Maribell and Eric gave an example of each
on a sticky note. We explained two types of nouns: singular and plural. Singular noun being one person,
place, thing, or idea. Plural noun is more than one person, place, thing, or idea. The students sorted
singular and plural nouns on a sheet of paper. The students shared their answers to each other. We
explained the singular/plural agreement with verbs. When we have a singular noun, the verb needs to have
a ‘s’ at the end. When we have a plural noun, the verb stands alone. We gave an example of how this
works (The girl(s) walk(s) to school). I listed how plural nouns can change the spelling—I read the “plural
rules” aloud and gave examples. Then, I read the definitions of noun and verb for the students to match
together. Our last activity was having students circle nouns and verbs in provided sentences. We modeled
this on the white board with the sentence “My dog, Lola, barks when cars drive by the house.” The
students worked independently to identify the verbs and nouns in the sentences. We reviewed the answers
for the first sentence for Maribell and Eric to check their work.

Post Lesson Analysis

Reflection on Teaching: (Analyze and evaluate your lesson and class management.)
Overall, I think the lesson went well. Eric and Maribell are at similar levels and the extra support will help
them. We created this lesson based on their needs. We had noticed, based on their morning work, they
needed more assistance with parts of speech. Also, I think addressing the singular/plural agreements with
verbs will help them with their writing. As third graders, they are writing more. During the lesson, I
repeated and rephrased students’ responses. Repetition can help ELs during instruction. There are many
things we could have done differently during this lesson. This includes providing too much and not
enough support throughout the lesson, such as speaking too fast and not probing questions. One point
during the lesson, Maribell went to circle “colorful” has a noun. I explained that word describes the noun.
Since we talked about adjectives during morning work, I should have asked, “do you know what that is
called?” She could have told me an adjective. Instead I just told her “that’s called an adjective.” Both
students were engaged and on task throughout the lesson. They were ready to learn and share their
answers after each task.
Lesson Adjustment: (How are you re-teaching objectives for mastery based on formative assessment?
Include evidence.)
If I were to reteach this lesson, I would include more examples of noun and verbs. This would help
students determine these parts of speech. I might have given Eric an opportunity to act out a few verbs.
He was having trouble identifying verbs and coming up with examples. If he got up and pretended to
swim or eat, he might have understood that a verb is an action word. The sentences we provided for the
students were long and contained more than one verb and noun. If this lesson needed to be retaught, we
could have provided shorter sentences, like “My mom drove to the store.” So the student would only have
to circle “my mom” and “store” as nouns and “drove” as the verb. Also, we could have provided fewer
examples for the singular and plural noun sort. This would still teach the purpose, but possibly avoid
frustration.
