Procedure:
Introduction/Motivation:
Today we will be discussing the four types of sentences. Does anyone know what
four types of sentences there are in writing? (Bloom: Knowledge) Can you tell me the
definition of each of the types of sentences? (Gardner: Verbal/Linguistic) After giving
students time to think about this, tell students that they will now watch a YouTube clip
that is a song and an explanation for each type of sentence. Watch clip with students.

Step-by-Step Plan:
1. Now that we know the four types of sentences, let’s make sure that we can use
what we have learned and practice it. Hand out practice for students. Explain
directions.
2. On the practice students will place the correct punctuation in the boxes at the end
of each sentence. They will then label the sentences with one of the four types of
sentences. Do first problem together.
3. Give students time to work on this on their own (Gardner: Intrapersonal)
4. When students have completed assignment they will then write a narrative using
all four of the types of sentences. What is a narrative? What are the parts of a
narrative? Your assignment is to write a short narrative using all four of the types
of sentences. (Bloom: Comprehension)
5. If you are writing a story what should your story have?
6. Give students time to work on narrative and help with them. Make sure students
are following components of a story.
Closure:
Students will present their narratives if there is time and if they volunteer. After students
have presented their narratives ask them to point out each of their four types of sentences.
