This document outlines an English lesson plan for grade 8 on using signal words to achieve coherence in writing. The lesson will begin with a review of modals and an introduction to the new focus on signal words. Students will watch a video on baking a cake and identify the signal words used to indicate the steps and procedures. The lesson will then discuss classifying different types of signal words and correctly using them to link ideas. Formative assessments include an activity identifying signals words in sentences and sharing the step-by-step procedure for cooking rice using signal words. The lesson will conclude by having students generalize their understanding of signal word classifications and functions through discussion and a brief quiz.
