WV CSOs
RLA.S.2.1 Students will apply reading skills and strategies to inform, to perform a task and to read for literacy experience by identifying and using grade appropriate essential reading components (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, written application)
RLA.O.2.1.1 identify and practice basic elements of phonetic analysis: syllabication diphthongs digraphs variant vowel sounds such as r-controlled
RLA.O.2.1.11 Search use literary and informational texts to summarize, determine story elements, determine cause and effect, compare and contrast, predict, sequence, draw conclusions, describe characters and provide main idea and support details.
NATIONAL STANDARD
MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Overall Time 1 hour and 40 minutes 10 minutes to read Green Wilma Lost in Space 15 minutes to compare and contrast Green Wilma and Blooger using a Venn diagram (as a class) 15 minutes to introduce syllables 15 minutes for syllable worksheet 10 minutes to go over answers 5 minutes to explain activity 20 minutes for Green Wilma is Missing! Activity 10 minutes for students to talk about their activity/ Closure
STRATEGIES Reading of Green Wilma Lost in Space/ Venn diagram activity/ Introduction of syllables/ syllable worksheet/teacher explanation/ Green Wilma is Missing activity/ student discussion/ closure
DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION/ ADAPTATIONS/ INTERVENTIONS Students with visual problems will sit closer to the front of the room in order to see. Students with hearing problems will sit closer to the front of the classroom in order to hear. PROCEDURES Introduction/ Lesson Set -First, I will read the story Green Wilma Lost in Space by Tedd Arnold to the class. -I will then ask students if they know what a Venn diagram is and let them explain if they do. -I will then explain to them if they dont know. -I will then explain that we will be making one as a class comparing and contrasting Green Wilma and Blooger
Body & Transitions -I will begin by drawing a Venn diagram on the white board and explaining to students that one side is for Green Wilma and one side is for Blooger. Where they dont touch is where you put how theyre different and where they meet in the middle is where you put their similarities. -We will then fill the rest of it out as a class. -I will then introduced syllables to the class and ask if anybody knows what they are and if they do then they can explain it. -I will then give them my explanation of syllables and how to syllabicate words. -We will try a few together as a class. -They will then be given a worksheet with words from Green Wilma and asked to syllabicate them themselves. -We will then go over them. - I will then explain our next activity which is to make missing posters for Green Wilma. -I will show the students an example of a missing pet poster and then tell them that is what they will be doing and that they will be asked to write a description of Wilma. I will urge them to think back to our science lesson and remember the characteristics of an amphibian and use some of those in their poster. -I will pass out paper, markers, crayons, etc. to the students and have them begin their poster. - After, students will be able to show their posters and explain them to me.
Closure -For closure, I will call on students to share with the class what they have learned with this lesson and answer any questions they may have.
ASSESSMENT
Diagnostic: The Venn diagram we use to compare and contrast Green Wilma and Blooger will serve as the diagnostic testing. Formative: I will observe students by walking around the classroom when they are completing both their syllabus worksheet and their Green Wilma is Missing! Activity. Summative: The syllables worksheet the students are required to complete will serve as the summative assessment for this lesson.
MATERIALS - Green Wilma Frog in Space book - White board/ Markers or Smartboard - 25 printouts of syllable worksheet - 25 blank sheets of paper - Markers/ crayons/ colored pencils - 25 copies of a Green Wilma word search - There Was an Old Monkey Who Swallowed a Frog book - EXTENTED ACTIVITIES If Student Finishes Early If students finish early, they will be given a Green Wilma word search to complete. If Lesson Finishes Early If the lesson finishes early, I will read to them There Was an Old Monkey Who Swallowed a Frog by Jennifer Ward.
