Subject-Verb Agreement: The 'S' Transfer Rules Walkthrough
Section role: supports 'The Secrets of the 'S'' section while the teacher guides the whole-class T-chart building and introduces formal grammar rules. Slides: (1) Title — 'The Secrets of the S'; (2) The T-Chart Discovery — bullets: grouping sentences by 's' verbs and base verbs based on group card sorting; (3) The Formal Rule — bullets: introducing 'Subject-Verb Agreement' and the core definition; (4) The S-Transfer Rule — bullets: singular subject gets the verb 's' (The bird sings), visual highlight on the matching endings; (5) Plural Power — bullets: plural noun already has the 's', verb stays plain (The birds sing); (6) The Tricky Exceptions — bullets: addressing 'I' and 'You' taking base verbs despite being singular ('I jump', 'You jump'); (7) Video Interlude — prompt for the optional video [0] showing visual patterns; (8) Quick Check — two sample sentences for immediate choral response. Closing slide: 'Can you spot the mismatch? Tell your partner why this sentence sounds wrong: The dogs runs.' — hands control back to the teacher for individual practice.
