I.
Objectives
At the end of the lesson, the students will be able to:
• Define prepositions and identify their functions in sentences;
• Compare prepositions of place, time, and direction;
• Construct own sentences using prepositions.
II. Subject Matter
1. Topic: Prepositions
2. Teaching Materials: PowerPoint presentation, Laptop, Projector
III. Procedure
A. Daily Routine
• Prayer
• Greetings
• Checking of Attendance
B. Motivation
• Ask students: "Have you ever given directions to someone? What words
do you use to describe where to go?"
• Write a few student responses on the board, emphasizing the prepositions
they use (e.g., “left at the corner,” “in front of the school”).
• Explain that these words help us describe where and when things happen,
and they are called "prepositions."
C. Lesson Proper
• Introduction
- Briefly review parts of speech and introduce prepositions with
examples.
• Approach: Communicative Approach
- Focus on practical use of prepositions in communication.
• Method: Direct Instruction and Collaborative Learning
- Combine explanation with group activities/
• Technique: Guided Discovery
- Encourage students to discover rules through examples.
• Strategy: Interactive Group Work
- Students collaborate to practice prepositions in context.
IV. Generalization
• Summarize the lesson by asking the class:
- "What are prepositions used for?"
- "Can someone give an example of a preposition that shows location?
How about time? Direction?"
• Emphasize that prepositions help us understand where things are, when
things happen, and how we move from one place to another.
V. Analysis
• Probing Questions:
- "What words do you notice in these sentences that tell us about
location?"
- Example: "The book is on the table."
- "What do you think the word 'on' does in the sentence?"
• Leading Questions:
- "How do we know when to use 'in' vs. 'on' when talking about location?"
- Example: "The picture is on the wall" vs. "The cat is in the box."
- "How do you decide which preposition to use for time, such as 'at 5:00,'
'on Monday,' or 'in January'?"
• Processing Questions:
- "How did you decide which preposition to use in your sentence?"
- "What similarities do you notice between how prepositions of time and
place work?"
- "What changes if we replace a preposition in this sentence?"
- Example: "The dog is under the table" vs. "The dog is next to the table."
VI. Application
Activity:
• Task: Students will engage in a role-playing activity where one student is
a tourist, and the other is a local giving direction to places in town (e.g.,
library, restaurant, park).
• The "tourist" will ask questions like, "How do I get to the library?" or
"Where is the nearest café?"
• The "local" will respond using prepositions of place and direction.
• After the role play, students switch roles to ensure that everyone practices
using prepositions.
