Teacher Name: | Casey Fowler |

Subject: | Language Arts |
Topic: | Identifying Letters, Words, and Sentences. |
Content: | Worksheet involving the use of circles to identify letters in a word, entire words, and complete sentences. Using sight words such as |
Goals: | The goal of this lesson will be for childrent to be capable of disphering between letters in a word, a word in a sentence, and what a complete sentence looks like. |
Objectives: | Being able to identify a word, a letter, and a complete sentence. This will cover the teaching of Standard 1 in 1.1.2. |
Materials: | Worksheet to follow along Colored markers Overhead projector Magazines White Paper Test Evaluation Word strips |
Introduction: | Have students sit at their desks as a student passes out a worksheet attached. Ask the students what they think goes into a sentence? Accept answers; letters, words, capital letters, puntcuation Great answers! Where do we see words, sentences, and letters? Accept all answers that are reasonable. Great kids, now we are going to look at some examples so we can find them in things like books, menus, and media. |
Development: | I will place the same paper that the children have on the overhead. Asking them to focus on box 1. This box says you. Say you! Great! Now how many letters do we see here? 3? Yes! Lets grab a marker and circle each letter. Circle Y O U sepeartely. Okay, lets move to box 2. Point to box 2 kids. Okay, this box says leaf. Say leaf. How many letters do we see here? 4. Yes, now lets grab the same marker color from before and circle the letters we see in leaf. Read them aloud as you circle them. Okay now that you guys are doing great with this, lets move on to words. Lets move to box 3. Box 3 says Tom ran home. How many words do we see here? 3, yes! lets choose a differnce color marker and circle each word. Now lets look at the sentence in box 3. What do we see? Accept answers: words, letters, capital letters, and a period. Yes! Letters circle the letters we see in each word. Pause while the students do this. Walk around and observe as the children work. Once this is completed move on to box 4. This says, Ali has a new game. What does this sentence tell us? This tells us that Ali now has a new game which she did not have before. A complete sentence tells us something. Now lets look for how many words are in this complete sentence. Okay, now we are going to look at the box numbered 5, we are going to try and identify which sentences here are COMPLETE sentences. Let me read them to you, then you read them back to me as a group. (read to children one at a time allowing them to reply with the same sentence.) Now ask them what did sentence 1 tell us? Answer: That the wind blew. Good, what about sentence 2? Answer: nothing. Good. If not given the correct answer guide students to understand that this doesn't tell us anything and what did we say that complete sentences did? Tell us something. So, is this a complete sentence? No. Correct. Now lets try sentence 3. is this a complete sentence. Answer: no. Why not? It doesn't tell you anything. Great job! |
Practice: | Using sentence strips cut into words, put students in groups of 4. Review with them, what are we looking for in a complete sentence? Answer: words, letters, and punctuation. Yes! Now lets work in groups to create 3 sentences and then we will share them with the class in about 8 minutes. I will be walking around to assist you with any questions. At this time walk around and check to make sure that all of the students are taking part and make sure they have a good grasp on the subject matter. |
Accommodations: | |
Checking For Understanding: | After reviewing and correcting any issues in understanding words, letters and complete sentences give a small test the day after. This test should consist of asking how many letters are in words. Ask them to count the letters. Then how many words are in a sentence? Finishing up with sets of three sentences and asking if they are complete senteces or not? Allow students 15 minutes to take this assessment. |
Closure: | When finishing up ask the children what they now know about sentences. Accept all correct answers. Great job learning this week guys. Now lets display or new learning by hanging them around the classroom to remind us what a good complete sentence looks like. |
