What Is Subject-Verb Agreement?

(4th Grade)
Concept:

• Subject-verb agreement

General Goals:

• Students will learn to have their subjects and verbs agree in sentences.

Specific Objectives:

• Students will identify and define subjects and verbs.

• Students will determine if verb forms agree with the subject of the sentence.

• Students will learn to correct subject-verb agreement.

Required Materials:

• PowerPoint (of lesson)

• Projection screen and projector

• White board

• Lesson hand outs

• Student’s Chromebooks with word processor and internet connection

Anticipatory Set:

• I will begin with a simple sentence written on the board: “The minion wants a banana.”

Ask students what is doing an action in the sentence (underline minion). I will then

explain that a subject in the sentence does the action. I will then ask the students what

the action in the sentence (circle wants) is. Then I will remind the students that a verb is

the word that describes the action or state of being.

Step-by-step Procedures:
• [The lesson will continue with a PowerPoint presentation.]

o Explain the rule of subject-verb agreement (while reminding what singular and

plural mean).

o In the next slide, give examples of subject-verb agreements with singular

subjects.

o In the next slide, give examples of subject-verb agreements with plural subjects.

o In the two previous slides, include guided practice where students tell you if a

verb should be plural or singular.

Independence Practice:

• After the lesson, I will hand out the worksheet. Students will be independently working

on this worksheet. We will do the first two questions as a class before transitioning to

independent work.

Closure:

• Ask students why subject-verb agreement is important.

• Give an example of subject-verb disagreement.

• Explain how confusion can come when the subject and verb do not match.

Assessment Based on Objectives:

• Students will take the 10-point multiple choice question in Canvas.

• Students will read “How the Camel Got His Hump” by Rudyard Kipling and then answer

the discussion prompts in Canvas.

Possible Connections to Other Subjects:

• Comprehension is strengthened to help understand the reading from other classes, i.e.,
o Chapter readings in History

o Word-problems in Math

o Instructions in Science

Alterations for Special Needs:

• During independent practice, reading the sentences aloud will be used to assist the

students that struggle with reading and comprehension. For the assignment, students

can use text-to-speech and speechify to read the assigned questions. For the discussion,

students will have the option of uploading an audio recording of their response.
