    Lesson Plan — Negatives, Double Negatives, and Contractions

    Lesson Outline
    Alexander Noehl-Tekorius
    Standard:
    L.4.1-L.5.1

    Learning Target
    • I can identify negatives, double negatives, and conjunction words in
    a sentence.
    • I can write a sentence using negatives, double negatives, and con-
    junction words.

    Academic Language
    • Negatives in language
    • Double negatives
    • Conjunctions

    Building on Students’ Prior Knowledge


    Recall back to negative numbers in math: What happens when you
    multiply two negative numbers? You get a positive outcome.

    Differentiated Instruction
    • This lesson will use both whole group learning, as well as indepen-
    dent work
    • Alternatives to writing sentences can include identifying nega-
    tives by means of spoken sentences.
    Per the low floor - high ceiling model, students who need more of a
    challenge will have the opportunity to think of negative words or con-
    tractions that might be harder to identify, and is more open-ended for
    individual exploration. Examples: never, nobody, hadn’t, shouldn’t,
    mustn’t, and the un- prefix (unwise, unlike, undetermined).

    Materials
    Journal/piece of paper + pencil

    Instructional Segment and Student Supports

    What is a negative?
    A Negative is a word or phrase that is used to express “no”
    • Examples: No, not, nothing, nobody, neither or don’t, can’t, won’t,
    or didn’t,
    What are some other examples?

    Can you create a sentence with it?


    • “I didn’t finish my homework”
    • “I am not hungry”

    If we take away the negative words, it creates a positive sentence:


    Students answer:
    • “I finished my homework”
    • “I am hungry”

    What is a double negative?


    • First, what comes to mind?
    A Double negative is when you use two of our negative words in a sen-
    tence.
    • “I don’t have nothing!”
    • “I can’t get no dog!”
    • “My project wasn’t no good.”

    • Why should we avoid double negatives?


    • Because it usually doesn’t convey what we really mean, it makes
    the sentence positive.
    • It can be confusing for the reader

    • Think - Pair - Share


    • Students will independently write their own sentence using a
    double negative
    • They will partner up with someone and share/swap their sen-
    tences
    • They will rewrite each others’ sentences and share/swap again

    During this activity I will walk around the room, answering questions
    and providing individual scaffolding.

    What is a Contraction?
    A contraction is a word that combines two other words together.
    Examples:
    • Contractions: Don’t, didn’t, can’t
    • Separated: Do not, did not, cannot (can not)
    • Other examples that we might not notice: Shouldn’t, wouldn’t,
    I’m, we’re, aren’t

    Why do we use contractions?


    • Student answers ~ because it is easier when speaking and writ-
    ing to use shorter words that can be easily understood.

    • I will provide a sentence that uses several contractions, students


    will independently count and write out each one that they find.
    • After, they will write out what each word is in separated form.
    • Then students can voluntarily share with the class their observa-
    tions.
    * I will wander around the room answering questions and
    providing individual scaffolding as needed during this time

    Formative Assessments
    • I will collect each students’ page they used for the activities as their
    exit ticket.
    • If needed, for students who used verbal assessment instead of writ-
    ten assessment, I will transcribe their given sentences/answers on
    their paper to turn in for later reference.

    Closure—Student Voice and Summative Assessments


    • What were the big ideas that we talked about during this lesson?
    • (Negatives, double negatives, and contractions)

    • Revisit the learning objectives:


    • Do we feel that we completed those objectives?
    • What questions do we still have about today’s topics?
