with an activity that measures his understanding of the lesson focusing on the application of his sentence with
newly acquired knowledge about grammar. complete thoughts and
even explained the
functions of those
components (subject
and verb) within a
sentence. But the
second part, is where
the challenge of
teaching and learning
started. He was able to
vaguely understand
the functions of
clauses, the dependent
and dependent clauses
but the real challenge
was when he struggled
to create or combine
clauses to create a
complete sentence out
of the dependentIt took
him a while to answer
one item correctly and
a bit longer for the
second item. Obviously
there were issues with
the grammar but then
he was quick to noticed
the issues and actually
tried to resolve it.
During this part of the
lesson, i tried my best
to teach and make him
understand the
concept and all and i
believed he was able to
get them for the most
part, or at least i hoped
he was. The last part of
the lesson was not
hard to teach as he
was already familiar
with the basics of the
four types of
sentences, especially
the declarative and
interrogative
sentences. It was a bit
of an easy ride for this
entire part of the
lesson. He was able to
catch up quickly than
 initial expectations.
What i did mostly for
this part was supplying
him with the necessary
information about the
four types of
sentences; the
formalities and actual
functions and purposes
of these sentences.
The result of the short
quiz was rather a
satisfactory because he
got a decent score, but
I’m not sure if the quiz
really measures up his
understanding about
the lesson which we
will find out next
session.
