CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.1.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. Teacher Preparation Connect to prior knowledge Begin lesson by reviewing the definition of contractions (2 words that become 1 with motions). Ask a volunteer to provide the definition and redirect when necessary. *See anticipatory set for more details Goals/Rational To reinforce students understanding of the structure of contractions so that they will be able to construct contractions independently. Objective After reading spelling words flashcards and reviewing the definition of contractions, students will create contraction flashcards under the guidance and direction of the instructor. Students will then indentify 9 contraction pairs on a contraction worksheet of which 8 must be correct and form 10 contractions on a contraction worksheet of which 9 must be correct. Grouping Structures Anticipatory Set students will be seated at the carpet and the teacher will instruct the class as a whole Worksheets students will create contraction flashcards and complete worksheets individually at their desks Reflection students will return to the carpet Materials at the carpet: Materials up front Lesson Materials / Equipment Spelling word flash cards * Worksheet 1 Mini white board White board & marker * Scissors Dry erase marker Tissue * Band-Aid (3) Latex gloves (2 per student) Worksheet * Worksheet 2 Band-Aids (3 per student) Precut row 1 Contraction operation Scissors worksheets Gloves Band-Aid
