Lesson plan 1 Verb Tenses: Past, Present, Future Fourth Grade

Independent working time (8 minutes)


Ask your students to complete the rest of the Verb Tense Lesson Assessment on their own, using the steps you've modeled for them.


Differentiation


Enrichment: Students that finish early will prepare a sentence to act out in front of the class. Have each student circle and label the verb. The rest of class will have to guess the verb and tense.
Support: Give students who are struggling a copy of the Past, Present, Future Sentences handout. These students can circle and label the verb in each sentence.


Assessment (5 minutes)

Independent Working time can be used as a final assessment of the skill.

When analyzing their work, look to see if students first were able to circle and label the correct verb tense.
Next, assess if they correctly wrote two new sentences that included different verb tenses: one present, one past, and one future sentence.
An additional form of assessment is the exit ticket, which will be addressed in the Review and Closing.


Review and closing (7 minutes)


If time permits, allow 1-2 students to share their newly created sentence. Let the class guess the verb and the verb tense.
Go back to the Verb Tense Chart. Ask students to turn to a partner and tell them one new thing they

learned from this lesson. Make sure students speak in complete sentences.

Review the essential question.


Provide the exit ticket handout. The handout includes a scrambled sentence. The students must unscramble the sentence, put it in order, then circle and label the verb and tense. They must also answer the essential question in writing.
