RL 2.3 Describe how characters in a story respond to major events and challenges. Materials: Anchor Chart Paper Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel Marker Procedure: 1. Read Frog and Toad Together by Arnold Lobel to/with the students (may take more than one day). 2. After completing the book, discuss and assess the students comprehension by creating a concept map with the students on a piece of anchor chart paper. o Draw a circle in the middle of the paper and ask the students, What is our concept here? What will be discussing in this concept map? Expect students to answer Frog and Toad Together. o Begin to discuss with the students the different story elements involved in the story (characters, setting, conflict and resolution). Who are the main characters in the book? Expect students to answer Frog and Toad! Once students have answered discuss their similarities and differences. What are the setting(s)? Expect students to answer The house and the forest. Is there any conflict in the story? Expect students to answer No! Frog and Toad were very good friends. o After discussing the different story elements, discuss with the student different things that happened in the story. 3. Once discussions are done and all thoughts are written on the board, have the students retell the story with the information given on the concept map. Accommodations: For students who are struggling and need accommodations, I will use a beach ball with questions, comprehension Jenga, comprehension ice cream, or comprehension jeopardy pertaining to the book.

Vocabulary Development Lesson Plan Building Compound Words Goal: My goal for this lesson is for my students to expand their vocabulary through compound words and be able to use the vocabulary word in a sentence. CCSS: L.2.4 Determine or clarify the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words. Materials: Blank candy corn worksheets Procedure: 2. Today we are going to start working on building compound words. Who can remind me what a compound word is? Expect at least a few students to raise their hand and answer along the lines of two words that are put together to make a new word. 3. Now that we have reminded ourselves what a compound word is, we are going to practice building them step-bye-step with a piece of candy corn paper. Showing them the blank candy corn paper, We will use the top part of the candy corn to put the first word of the compound word, the middle piece of the candy corn for the end of the compound word, and then the very bottom piece of the candy corn to put the words together making the compound word. 4. You have all practiced productively and successfully. I am now giving you a list of compound words and I want you to break the word apart and put the words in their specific pieces of the candy corn worksheet. Accommodations: For struggling readers, I will focus on vocabulary without the compound emphasis. I will have my students focus on vocabulary ice cream, shades of meaning, words with the same meaning, or guess my word. Assessment: During the compound building practice, I will be informally assessing my students through observation. For those students who are not getting it, I will give extra instruction to or teach them another strategy. Activity #1 Guess My Word Materials Spelling list Procedure 1. Give students their spelling lists 2. Give three clues about a word and have the students guess the word by writing it down a. Elephant i. This is a large animal ii. You might find this animal in a circus iii. This animal enjoys peanuts b. Birthday i. This is a day we celebrate once a year for individual people ii. This celebration involves cake iii. You add a number to your age on this day 3. Once complete, collect the students work and assess it

If students finish quickly, give them crayons to color in their ice cream scoops Activity #3 Shades of Meaning Materials Multi-shaded paint strips Ring clip Procedure 1. Give students multi-shaded paint strips with a word on it. Example: Eat 2. Instruct students to write three different words to represent eat in the different shades. a. Chomp b. Devour c. Gobble 3.

Give students a word to put on the cone. Example: Bat 2. Explain to students that there are at least three meanings for the word 3. Have students come up with definitions for the words a. Piece of wood for hitting a ball b. Hit at something with the palm of your hand c. A flying mammal 4. If the students cannot come up with the definitions themselves, let them use the dictionary

Phonics Lesson Plan Solo Cup Blends Goal: My goal for this lesson is for my students to be able to recognize blends and digraphs and to come up with their own words using the blends and digraphs. CCSS: RF.2.3 Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words. Materials: Ping Pong Ball Solo Cups List of words with blends/digraphs Procedure: 1. Today we are going to focus on blends and digraphs and you are going to think of words with a digraph or blend in it. Digraph and blends are big words to know, so I will tell you what they mean. A digraph is a sound representing two letters, such as ch, sh, and th. A blend is when letters appear together, but you can hear both sounds, like bl, fl, or br. 2. I have multiple sets of cups set up and I want each of you, with a partner or two, to take turns throwing a ping pong ball I am about to give to you into the cups. Each cup has a digraph or blend written in side of it. For whatever cup your ball goes in, you must say a word involving that digraph or blend. For example, if I throw the ball into a cup that says th, I will come up with a word that includes that digraph, such as think. 3. Divide students into groups of two or three and send them to a table with cups set up. Accommodations: For students who are struggling, I will practice more with by using a blends and digraphs chart, the golden spoon, specific digraphs, or blends bingo. Assessment: As my students play the game, I will walk around and watch each student play. Once each student as successfully performed three different blends or digraphs, I will move on with satisfaction of my student mastering what they learned. Activity #1 Magic E Materials Magic E wand Word list of words ending with an e. Procedure 1. Write words on the board that can be changed by adding an e at the end. Example: mad 2.
