A sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought. Every sentence has two main parts: a subject and a predicate. The subject tells us who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells us what the subject is doing or what is happening to the subject.

A consonant is a letter of the alphabet that is not a vowel. In the English language, there are 21 consonants: b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, t, v, w, x, y, and z.

To construct sentences with consonants, we can use words that have more consonants than vowels. Here are some examples:

1. The big black bug bit the blue balloon. (Notice how there are more consonants than vowels in this sentence.)
2. Greg’s green grapes grew great. (There are more consonants than vowels in each word of this sentence.)
3. Frank’s friends found five frozen fish. (This sentence uses words that start with the letter “f,” which is a consonant.)
4. The playful puppy played with a purple ball. (This sentence uses words that start with the letter “p,” which is a consonant.)
5. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. (This sentence uses words that have a lot of consonants and no repeated vowels.)

Remember, sentences don’t have to be very long or complicated to be effective. They just need to express a complete thought. With some creativity and practice, you can create sentences that are fun, interesting, and have lots of consonants!

Lesson Presentation

Introduction (10 minutes):

1. Begin by introducing the topic of constructing sentences with consonants to the students.
2. Explain that a sentence is a group of words that expresses a complete thought and that every sentence has two main parts: a subject and a predicate.
3. Show examples of simple sentences on the whiteboard and identify the subject and predicate in each sentence.
4. Ask students if they can identify the subject and predicate in a sentence.

Body (30 minutes):

1. Hand out the examples of sentences using consonants and ask students to read them aloud.
2. Explain that a consonant is a letter of the alphabet that is not a vowel and that in the English language, there are 21 consonants.
3. Model how to construct a sentence using consonants and ask students to follow along. For example, “The big black bug bit the blue balloon.”
4. Have students work in pairs to construct their own sentences using consonants. Circulate around the room to provide assistance.
5. Have a few students share their sentences with the class.
6. Review the two main parts of a sentence (subject and predicate) and provide more examples of each.

Conclusion (10 minutes):

1. Administer the multiple-choice quiz to assess student understanding.
2. Provide feedback and answer any remaining questions.
