Robin A. Welsh English III Enriched Lesson Plan TEKS Lesson Plan Texarkana Independent School District Teacher: Robin Welsh Grade: Grade 11 T.I.S.D Subject/Course: English III Enriched Time Frame: 45 minutes Lesson Plan Number: 136 Topic/Process: Infinitives Textbook: Glencoe Writer’s Choice: Grammar and Composition, Grade 11, pages 521 522 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS): (3) Writing/grammar/usage/conventions/spelling. The student relies increasingly on the conventions and mechanics of written English, including the rules of usage and grammar, to write clearly and effectively. The student is expected to: (A) produce legible work that shows accurate spelling and correct use of the conventions of punctuation and capitalization such as italics and ellipses; (B) demonstrate control over grammatical elements such as subject-verb agreement, pronounantecedent agreement, verb forms, and parallelism; (C) compose increasingly more involved sentences that contain gerunds, participles, and infinitives in their various functions; (D) produce error-free writing in the final draft; and (E) use a manual of style such as Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA), and The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS). TAKS: 6 Concepts: Enduring Understandings/Generalizations/Principles The student will understand that: Infinitives Identifying and using infinitive phrases in writing Sequence of Activities (Instructional Strategies): 1. Journal focus: Have students write this sentence in their journals and underline the prepositional phrases: Many students want to go home early to eat a delicious snack. (Students will probably underline the infinitive phrases which will give the teacher a chance to review the concept of prepositional phrases and introduce the concept of infinitives. Once the teacher explains that an infinitive is to + verb, go around the room and have each student give an example of an infinitive. Ex: To say, to write, to run . . . 2. Activity: Discuss the following rules with students: a. Infinitives result when a verb form is preceded by the word to. b. An infinitive phrase is made up of the infinitive, any modifiers and the subjects or objects of the infinitive. c. Infinitives can function as nouns, adjectives or adverbs in a sentence. The term infinitive comes from a Latin word meaning “not limited.” An infinitive isn’t limited to one function! Review: subject, direct object, predicate nominative, object of preposition, adverb, and adjective. d. Infinitives may be confused with prepositional phrases. Pair students and have them work together to complete Exercises 12 and 13, page 522. They will identify infinitive phrases and tell whether they are functioning as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs. 3. Class discussion: Students share and discuss responses for Exercises 12 and 13. 4. Creative Activity: Have students complete Exercise 14, page 522 by writing five action verbs. They are to make up 5 sentences using each verb in an infinitive phrase. Have them underline each phrase and identify its function. Assessment of Activities: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Have students complete exercises in Writer’s Choice: Grammar Enrichment, Grade 11, page 16 2. Allow students to research on line data bases to locate famous lines from literature containing infinitive phrases. They should present their findings to the class pointing out how the infinitives make the line meaningful and memorable. Sample Questions: 1. 2. How is the underlined infinitive phrase used in this sentence: Rufas hopes to purchase a new car this fall. a. direct object b. adverb c. adjective d. object of a preposition Write a sentence using the action verb tackle in an infinitive phrase.
