Materials:

Introduction:
 1. Read the book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom. 2. Have students point out the letters in the book.
Development:
 Use the props and identify the letters as I put them on the coconut tree.
Practice:
 1. Have students split into groups and stand up in front of class mates with the props and identify the letters. 2. Have students work together with alphabet flash cards.
Accommodations:
 For students who need extra help, I would work with them individually. I would also break down the amount of letters the student would have to identify.
Checking For Understanding:
 The checklist would be the assessment. I would provide instant feedback.
Closure:
 To wrap up the lesson, I would again review each of the letters. Then I would put the Chicka Chicka Boom Boom dvd on for the students to watch.
Evaluation:
 I would use an alphabet checklist to measure progress. Beause this is a review lesson, I would compare this checklist to prior checklists.
Teacher Reflections:
 This lesson went well due to the fact that most of my students are visual learners. The repetative activities also helped my students master the objective. My students enjoy hands on activities.
