The lesson plan focuses on teaching 5th grade students about verbal elements in oral communication such as dialogue, descriptive language, figurative language, tone, and volume. It also teaches students to identify different text types (narrative, persuasive, informative) and their key characteristics. Students practice identifying text types in examples and incorporating verbal elements in their own writing. They provide feedback to peers on the use of text types and verbal elements.
