1. For students who need additional support, provide sentence construction templates with sentence starters or visual cues.
2. For students who are more advanced, challenge them to create more complex sentences using conjunctions or adjectives.

Plenary:

1. Recap the main points of the lesson by asking the students to share one sentence they constructed.
2. Discuss the importance of using capital letters and punctuation marks correctly in sentences.
3. Show another short video clip that reinforces the concept of constructing sentences. Here is a suitable video resource: [Video Resource: "Sentence Structure for Kids" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vZz8Rw4r-E]
