Engagement/Focus:
Good morning boys and girls! I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Today we
are going to become doctors that put together different words to make a
contraction. Last year, you learned about what a contraction is and how to form
one. So lets do a little review to help refresh our memory.
What is the symbol used to combine two words to make a contraction?
Apostrophe
Correct! That is exactly what we use.
If I give you the words I and am, what would the contraction look like?
Im
Very good! I can tell that you really understood contractions and how to make
them.
If I give you the words, she and is, what would the contraction look
like? Shes
Great! Now that I know you that you remember how to create contractions from
two words, we are going to look at some more complex contractions. Remember
to keep the class volume at an inside level when working with pairs. Raise your
hand if you have any questions. Be respectful of others and work quietly with
your group.

Explanation/Procedures:
Today we are going to look at some complex contractions that you may or may
not have heard of before.

Now that we have seen some complex contractions, we are going to look some of
the contraction patterns.
Today we saw that a word + have can be formed to make a contraction.
Which letters are replaced by the apostrophe? Ha
Awesome job!
We also saw that a word + will can be formed to make a contraction.
Which letters from will are replaced with an apostrophe? Wi
That is correct! Now we are going to do a fun activity where you will act like
doctors that put word bodies back together.
I would like you two get into the pairs that I have made
[read off the premade list of pairs]
I am going to give each partnership a set of notecards. Each notecard will have
part of a contraction. As a pair, determine which two notecards go together to
make a contraction. Remember that we are working on _______ + have/will
contractions. Record your contractions on the Contractions Surgery worksheet
that I will provide you. Keep your voices at an indoor classroom level. Raise your
hand if you have any questions.

Closure:
Great job today class! I loved watching you work with your partners, keeping the
volume at an inside level.
Cayla and Tori, you both did an excellent job of working together by listening to
your partners input while also being respectful of other partners working around
you.
You all seem to know the material very well.
Before we end the class, I would like to do a quick review.
Will someone please tell me one contraction we learned today? [various
answers]
Great!
_________________, what two words were used to make the contraction
your classmate just shared?
Awesome job!
Class, what is the symbol we use when making contractions? Apostrophe
That is correct!
What is one way you could use a contraction in everyday life? For example,
when you are telling your mom that you and your brother or sister are going
to clean your room, you could say Well be cleaning our room this
afternoon.
Those are all great ideas. As you listen to people talk, look out for the
contractions that each person said.
Thanks for a great class. You were all on your best behavior and I could tell you
really knew how to form contractions. Tomorrow we are going to become editors
that edit a piece of writing! We will look at a postcard and figure out different
contraction errors within the postcard.
