A substitution table is a chart or table that helps you make different sentences by substituting or replacing one word with another word. To make sentences from a substitution table, you’ll need to follow a few simple steps:

1. Look at the substitution table: The substitution table will have columns and rows with different words in each box.
2. Choose a word: Pick one word from the first column of the substitution table.
3. Find the matching word: Look for the matching word in the next column of the substitution table. This word will replace the first word in your sentence.
4. Add the rest of the sentence: After you have chosen the two words, add the rest of the sentence to complete it.
5. Repeat the process: You can make more sentences by picking different words from the first column and finding the matching word in the next column.

Here’s an example substitution table with some words to get started:

Using this substitution table, you can make sentences like:

• The cat ran across the street.
• The dog barked loudly at the mailman.
• The bird sang a beautiful song in the morning.

You can make many more sentences by picking different words from the first column and finding the matching word in the second column.

A substitution table with three columns works in the same way as a substitution table with two columns, except that there are more words to choose from. Here’s an example of a substitution table with three columns and some words:

Here’s how to use the table to make sentences:

1. Choose a word from column 1. For example, “The bird.”
2. Choose a word from column 2 that matches with your first word. For example, “sang.”
3. Choose a word from column 3 that matches with your first two words. For example, “beautifully.”
4. Put the three words together to make a sentence. For example, “The bird sang beautifully.”

Here are some other sentences you can make using the same substitution table:

• The fish swam gracefully.
• The rabbit hopped happily.
• The dog barked loudly.
• The cat ran quickly.

You can make many more sentences by picking different words from each column. Just remember to make sure that the words you choose match up with each other to create a complete sentence.

Lesson Presentation

Introduction (5 minutes):

1. Begin by asking students if they know what a substitution table is. Have a brief discussion to clarify the concept of a substitution table.
2. Introduce the topic by explaining that we will be learning how to use a substitution table to make sentences.

Body (25 minutes):

1. Show the students an example of a substitution table with two columns and some words. Use the example to explain how a substitution table works.
2. Ask students to identify the words in the first column and second column of the table. Explain that the words in the first column will be replaced by the words in the second column to make sentences.
3. Model how to use the substitution table to make a sentence. Choose a word from the first column and a matching word from the second column, and then add the rest of the sentence.
4. Have students work in pairs or small groups to practice making sentences using the substitution table. Distribute handouts of the substitution table to each group.
5. Walk around the room to monitor students’ progress and provide support where needed.
6. After students have had time to practice, bring the class back together and have a few groups share their sentences.

Conclusion (5 minutes):

1. Recap the lesson by reminding students of what they learned about substitution tables and making sentences.
2. Assign a homework exercise where students will use a substitution table to make three sentences on their own. Collect these at the next class for assessment.

Assessment: During the group work, observe students as they make sentences using the substitution table. Collect the homework exercise for assessment. Provide feedback to students on their progress and understanding of the concept.

Extension: For advanced students, provide a substitution table with three columns and more challenging words. Allow them to work independently to make more complex sentences.
