Teacher Notes (not visible to students)

This activity helps students identify subjects and predicates in short sentences and practice correct sentence structure. Use the video to introduce the ideas and then have students complete multimedia responses and drag-and-drop questions to check understanding. Prepare sentence strips or index cards with simple subjects and predicates for small-group practice. For the open-ended Think About It page: a high-quality answer names one clear thing the student learned (example: "The subject is who the sentence is about.") and asks one clear question about the topic (example: "How many words can be in a subject?"). For the Show It page: a high-quality response demonstrates a full sentence with a clear subject and predicate and shows the parts (by pointing, underlining, or saying them). Teachers can mark these as correct if both a reasonable learned item and a clear question are present on Think About It, and if Show It contains at least one correct sentence with subject and predicate identified.
