Educational Project Plan: BASIC VERBS IN PRESENT AND PAST


Grade: 3rd Grade (Primary)
Main Issue: Students will identify and work with basic verbs in present and past tense.
Scenario: School
Methodology: Service-Learning (with a focus on Inclusion)


1. Stage 1: Starting Point (Sensitization)

TimeActivitiesObjectivesDescriptionAdaptations for Level
30 minutesClass discussion and story readingSensitize students about actions and timeRead a simple story involving daily school activities (e.g., "My School Day") emphasizing verbs like "go," "play," "write," "read." Discuss the actions and when they happen.Use visuals and gestures for better understanding. Use simple language.
15 minutesBrainstormingConnect prior knowledgeAsk students: "What do you do at school today? Yesterday?" Write their answers on the board, highlighting present and past actions.Use pictures and encourage participation from all students, ensuring inclusion.


2. Stage 2: What I Know and What I Want to Know

TimeActivitiesObjectivesDescriptionAdaptations for Level
20 minutesKWL Chart ActivityAssess prior knowledge and set learning goalsStudents share verbs they know in present tense; then, what they want to learn about past tense. Fill out KWL chart as a class.Use visual aids and simple language to ensure comprehension. Encourage students with diverse abilities to participate.
15 minutesGroup discussionIdentify needsIn small groups, discuss questions like: "How do we change verbs from present to past?"Use peer support and visual cues to facilitate understanding.


3. Stage 3: Planning the Solidarity Service

TimeActivitiesObjectivesDescriptionAdaptations for Level
30 minutesDesign a "Verb Action Poster"Collaboratively create learning materialsStudents plan and create posters illustrating common verbs in present and past tense (e.g., "run" / "ran," "play" / "played"). Include pictures and simple sentences.Ensure all students contribute. Use large visuals and assistive devices if needed.
15 minutesResource organizationPrepare materials for the activityGather pictures, drawings, and craft supplies for poster making.Use accessible materials and provide options for different abilities.


4. Stage 4: Executing the Service

TimeActivitiesObjectivesDescriptionAdaptations for Level
45 minutesPoster creation and presentationReinforce understanding and inclusivityStudents work in pairs or groups to make their posters. They then present their posters to classmates, saying the verbs in present and past tense.Pair students with diverse abilities. Use visual and auditory supports.
30 minutesCommunity sharingExtend learning beyond classroomInvite other classes or parents to view the posters. Students explain the verbs and their meanings, emphasizing inclusion.Use simple language, gestures, and visual aids during presentations.


5. Stage 5: Sharing, Reflection, and Evaluation

TimeActivitiesObjectivesDescriptionAdaptations for Level
20 minutesReflection circleEncourage self-awareness and inclusionStudents share what they learned, what was easy or difficult, and how they felt working together.Use visual prompts and allow students to express in different ways (drawing, speaking, gestures).
20 minutesFeedback and assessmentMeasure learning outcomesUse a simple worksheet with pictures asking students to identify verbs in present and past (e.g., "What is this? (run / ran)"). Observe participation.Provide assistance and alternative formats for students with special needs.
