De La Salle Lipa St. Br. Jaime Hilario Night High School I.

Objectives At any part of the lesson students are expected: to define subordination and coordination to recognize the ways of joining words, clauses or sentences by coordination, and to use coordinative methods in combining words, clauses or sentences.

II. Subject Matter Topic: Faulty Coordination and Subordination: Coordinative Methods Materials: Laptop, LCD projector, Power Point presentation References: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/engagement/index.php http://www.csun.edu/~hcpas003/coord.html http://www.laspositascollege.edu/raw/LPCRAW-CoordinationandSubordination.php III. Procedure A. Preparatory Activity Classroom Daily Routine 1. Prayer 2. Greetings 3. Classroom Management Teachers Activity B. Motivation Class, please get your bag. Now, open it. Choose two things inside your bag that you want to combine or to connect. Think the means or the thing/s you need to combine or connect the two. I will give 20 seconds. (Students perform the task.) Who would like to share? (3-5 students share his/her chosen stuffs and means of combining the two.) V. Teaching and Learning Process A. Presentation Now, examine this passage. Californias farmers ship fresh lettuce, avocados and other products to supermarkets. They never send fresh olives. What have you notice? Just like what you did awhile ago, there are certain ways on how to connect these two sentences. How are we going to connect these two sentences? (Students answers may vary.) B. Discussion There are two ways to connect/combine words, clauses or sentences: 1. Californias farmers ship fresh lettuce, avocados, and other products to supermarkets, but they never send fresh olives. 2. Californias farmers ship fresh lettuce, avocados, and other products to supermarkets, though they never send fresh Students Activity

olives. For example number 1, it is shown that there is an equal emphasis to both statements. This way is called coordination. It balances the structure, expresses addition or opposition. While in example number 2, it shows the relative weight of ideas. Meaning, one idea is less important than the other. It is called subordination. The main clause presents the central idea, whereas the subordinate clause modifies or comments on it. Again, what are the two ways in combining words, clauses or sentences? Coordination and subordination. Now, we will go into detail about coordination. There are different ways of using coordination or the so-called coordinative methods. These are the following: 1. Use coordinating conjunction. What are the commonly used coordinating conjunctions using the acronym FANBOYS? For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So Very Good. When using these conjunctions, remember to precede them with comma when joining two main clauses or group of words that could stand alone. For example Please read. The new zoning board met, but it did not vote. The two main clauses are: (1) the new zoning board met and (2) it did not vote. As you can notice but is preceded by a comma. The next way is to (2) use correlative conjunctions. Is there anyone from the class who could give examples of correlative conjunction? Either/or , neither/nor, not only/but also, both/and, whether/or Good. Correlative conjunction functions in pairs to relate one sentence element to another. For examplePlease read it aloud. I want either the cheese cake or the chocolate. Lets move on to the next coordinative method. It is by (3) using a semicolon. Let us take a look at this sentence. Please read. Some customers fidgeted; others stared at the ceiling. Given you that example, when do you think are you going to use semicolon? (Students answers may vary.) Semicolons help you connect closely related ideas. Using it effectively makes writing more sophisticated. The fourth way of applying coordination is through the (4) use of conjunctive adverbs, preceded by a semicolon. What conjunctive adverbs do you know?

However, moreover, nonetheless, thus and consequently are the most commonly used conjunctive adverbs Conjunctive adverbs connect two independent clauses or sentences. For examplePlease read. The heavy traffic on the 5th street made Claire think twice about stopping by the mall; moreover, she had a huge science paper due the next morning. What are the two independent clauses in the sentence? The heavy traffic on the 5th street made Claire think twice about stopping by the mall and she had a huge science paper due the next morning. Have you noticed the use of comma after the conjunctive adverb? Yes. Remember that if a conjunctive adverb is used at the beginning of the sentence/main clause, you should use comma immediately afterwards. Lets move on to the last coordinative method. (5) Use a colon. Lets have an example, kindly read it aloud. Magazine racks from the checkout counters serve a useful purpose: they give customers something to read while waiting. Can anyone from the class figure out how to use colon in a sentence, considering the example? Colon is used to explain or elaborate the first sentence. Very well said. The colon indicates that what follows it is an explanation or elaboration of what precedes it. Just like what is shown in the example. The purpose of the magazine rack is further explained in the second clause preceded by a colon. C. Generalization Is there anyone from the class who could differentiate coordination and subordination? Coordination gives equal emphasis to sentences while subordination shows relative weight of ideas. Well said. There are several coordinative methods, what are these? We have five. The five coordinative methods are: to use coordinative conjunction, to use correlative conjunction, to use conjunctive adverbs, to use semicolon and to use colon. Very good. Do not forget the accompanying punctuation marks needed to apply the methods accordingly. V. Application Get crosswise and answer the following. Directions: Combine the following set of sentences by using any of the coordinative methods.

1. Aerobics is a tough workout. I still attend three times a week. 2. The instructor gives detailed directions. The apprentices will understand. 3. She executes the moves. She performs with us. 4. I already lose some pounds. I still need to finish all the sessions. 5. You should visit the studio. Enlist your name to the next batch. VI. Assignment Complete the table by filling in the appropriate coordinating conjunction and conjunctive adverb in each relationship.
