1G15 – Compound Subjects and Compound Predicates

How do live lessons work?

Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.

How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?

Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.

This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.

Can I show videos in live classes?

Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.

Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.

The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.

How do bookmarks work?

Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.

You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.

You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.

You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Log in to save bookmarks.

Lesson Slide

1G15 – Compound Subjects and Compound Predicates

Main Teaching Points

  • Show: Slides
  • Explain: When we write a sentence the noun is the subject.
  • Ask: Students to identify nouns in a sentence.
  • Explain: When we combine “subject” we are combining nouns.  This happens when two nouns are using the same verb. For example, when two people are doing the same thing, the two people are the compound subject.
  • Explain: We can use words like “and” and “or” to combine sentences.
  • Explain: The predicate is the action part of the sentence and always has a verb in it. The predicate tells you what the subject is doing.
  • Explain: When one subject does more than one thing, we call it a compound predicate.
