My House

Objective 1: Students will be able to identify and name different rooms in a house in English (living room, bedroom, garage).

Objective 2: Students will be able to use imperative sentences correctly using "can I" and "cannot."

National Standard:

• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.1: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English grammar and usage when writing or speaking.
• CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.2.5: Demonstrate understanding of word relationships and nuances in word meanings.

Materials:

• Pictures of a living room, bedroom, and garage
• Whiteboard and markers
• Flashcards with imperative sentences (e.g. Can I have a glass of water? Can I borrow your pencil?)
• Game materials for closure activity (e.g. dice, game boards)

Warm-Up:

Open-ended question: "What is your favorite room in your house and why?"

• Allow students to share their answers with a partner or with the whole class.
• Discuss the different answers and introduce the topic of the lesson: rooms in a house.

Direct Instruction:

• Show pictures of a living room, bedroom, and garage and label each one.
• Explain the vocabulary for each room and have students repeat after you.
• Introduce imperative sentences using "can I" and "cannot" and provide examples.

Guided Practice:

Activity: Realia Game

• Divide students into small groups.
• Provide each group with pictures of different rooms in a house.
• One student takes a picture and asks a question using "can I" (e.g. Can I sleep in this room?) The other student must respond with "yes, you can" or "no, you cannot."
• Rotate pictures within the group until all students have had a turn.
• Monitor students and provide guidance as needed.

Independent Practice:

Project-based activity: Design Your Dream House

• Students will work individually to draw and label a picture of their dream house, including the living room, bedroom, and garage.
• Encourage students to use imperative sentences in their design (e.g. "I cannot play in the garage.")
• Allow students to share their drawings with the class at the end of the lesson.

Closure:

Game: Room Race

• Divide students into teams.
• Each team rolls a dice and moves across a game board with different rooms in a house.
• When a team lands on a room, they must use an imperative sentence correctly related to that room to move forward.
• The first team to reach the finish line wins.

Assessment:

• Monitor students' participation during the Realia Game and individual drawing activity.
• Evaluate students' ability to use imperative sentences correctly during the game and drawing.

Differentiation for students with special needs:

• Provide visual support (e.g. pictures, flashcards) for vocabulary and imperative sentences.
• Offer additional support through one-on-one instruction or peer tutoring.
• Allow students to work in pairs or small groups for the project-based activity to promote collaboration and support.
• Modify the game rules or provide a simplified version for students with special needs.
