Warm-up

• Ask the students if they know what grammar is and what it is used for.
• Discuss the importance of having proper grammar when writing in order to communicate clearly and be understood by others.

Direct Instruction

• Introduce the concept of grammar errors, explaining that these are mistakes that can happen when we use words incorrectly.
• Give examples of some common grammar errors, such as using "to" instead of "too," "its" instead of "it's," or "their" instead of "they're."
• Explain that the best way to avoid making these errors is to read our writing out loud and listen for any words that sound or feel wrong.

Guided Practice

• Give students a short passage to read silently, and provide pencil and paper for them to make notes about any grammar errors they find.
• Have students work with a partner to correct the errors they found in the passage.
• Go over the corrected passage as a class, discussing any questions or mistakes that students made.

Independent Practice

• Provide students with a sheet of paper containing several sentences with incorrect grammar, and have them correct the sentences.
• Have students work in small groups to present their corrected sentences to the class, using proper grammar and expressions to convey their message.

Closure

• Review the importance of using proper grammar and expressions in a sentence in order to convey a clear and proper message.
• Have students share any challenges they faced while correcting the sentences and practicing proper grammar and expressions.

Assessment

• Observe students during independent practice and provide feedback on their use of proper grammar and expressions in their written paragraph.
