21st century skills:


 Collaboration (Introduction and procedure): students working in pairs.
 Flexibility (procedure): students should be able to learn lots of rules.

Guided practice:
 Using a projector, display that It's Grammar Time: Subject-Verb Agreement 1 worksheet
and review the example.

 Read the first sentence aloud and underline the subject— empowerment. (Tip: Cover the
other sentences with a sheet of paper so that only the one you are working on is visible.)

 Explain, "We know that empowerment is singular because there is not an 's' at the end."

 Tell students that since there is not an 's' at the end of plane, the coordinating singular
verb will have an 's'.

 Circle the word includes and remind students that this is the verb that agrees with the
singular subject empowerment.

 Write the correct verb on the line and read the completed sentence aloud.

 Repeat by guiding students through sentence number two as a model.

 Complete five more examples with the class, inviting student volunteers to choose the
correct verb and explain their reasoning.

 Have students discuss and complete the remaining sentences with an elbow partner,

 All students should take the quiz.

Expected answers:

 General subject-verb problem: using “s” in verbs for plural subjects.


 Students might use plural verbs in collective nouns. Eg: the class encourage instead of
encourages women empowerment.
 Confused model verbs. Eg: women’s empowerment must allows instead of allow women
to make life- determining decisions.
 Indefinite pronoun problems. Eg: some of the girls discourages women empowerment.

Closure and reteaching:


 Ask students to think about what would happen if the subject and verb didn't agree.
 Give some examples of incorrect sentences (e.g. empowerment are raising the status of
women.)
 Explain that subject-verb agreement is important because without it a sentence can be
confusing. To communicate clearly in English, we must follow grammatical rules like
this one.
 Have students think about other grammatical rules they know that help them
communicate clearly (e.g. verb tense).
 If some students still have problems in subject-verb agreement, they are required to do a
research about the topic.
