PART A: Students will create their own podcast to share the words that they found and the number of
phonemes that are in the words. Parents and other students will be able to hear their work and comment
with the help of their parents.

Grade Level: Kindergarten

Content Area: English Language Arts
Technology Used (check all that apply): Movie Audio Podcast Vodcast Other: (list)

Content Area/Grade/Standards/Topics Addressed: ELAGSE1RF3: Know and apply grade-level phonics and
word analysis skills in decoding (phonemes). a. Distinguish long from short vowel sounds in spoken single-
syllable words. b. Orally produce single-syllable words by blending sounds (phonemes), including
consonant blends. c. Isolate and pronounce initial, medial vowel, and final sounds (phonemes) in spoken
single-syllable words. d. Segment spoken single-syllable words into their complete sequence of individual
sounds (phonemes)

This activity would take place after we discussed phonemes in the
Brief Description of Learning Experience:
classroom. Students will go to my classroom blog and click on flipped classroom. Then students will
listen to the audio of the book, Hop on Pop. After listening to the story with a parent or family member,
then they will find words that rhyme in or around their home. Students will make a list of words and post
them on the blog with their parents help. In class on Monday, I will go to our blog, and we will look at the
words that were found. I will tell the students before they leave on Friday about the activity, and we will
talk about the expectations. It should only take about 25 minutes to complete at home. Parents and students
will be able to see the words.
Students will see that learning is all around us, and they will be able to make connections that are
meaningful to them. We will have a discussion about the words, and students can see their commonalities
and differences. When a student finds two words at home or outside, then his or her parent will ask them
how many phonemes are in each word. We will go over the words and phonemes in class on Monday.

Student Engagement/Higher-Order Thinking:
LoTi Level 5
Students engage in higher-level critical thinking skills.
Students use technology productivity tools in authentic ways that connect them to the real world.
Student products involver cooperation and communication outside the classroom.


Importance of technology: Using
Audacity allows students to hear me read them a story with accuracy,
fluency and intonation. If they were not able to hear me reading the story, then they might have a different
experience with the book. Hearing my voice provides a normality of completing work at home for school.

Inspiration (optional): I cant wait to hear the students response to this activity!
