Subject: English

Grade Level: Grade 5

Objective: Subject-verb agreement

Learning across curriculum:

1) Mathematics - In math, students learn about number agreement when working

with equations and solving word problems. They need to ensure that the numbers
and operations used match each other. This connects to English subject-verb
agreement as both involve ensuring agreement between different elements.

2) Science - In science, students learn about the relationship between subjects and
predicates in the form of cause and effect. They need to understand how the actions
of one element can affect another. This connects to English subject-verb agreement
as both involve understanding the connection between different parts of a sentence.

3) Social Studies - In social studies, students learn about the agreement between
different when studying historical events and their impacts. They need to understand
how different factors come together to shape a particular outcome. This connects to
English subject-verb agreement as both involve understanding the agreement
between different elements in a sentence.
