Instructional Plan Title/Focus:

1. LESSON OVERVIEW OR SUMMARY:

To help students distinguish between short vowels and long vowels by using spelling words.

2. FOCUS QUESTION:

The big idea of this lesson is for students to be able to understand the differences between
short and long vowels in, at least, 10 words.


6. STATE LEARNING STANDARDS:

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.1.2.A
Distinguish long from short vowel sounds in spoken single-syllable words.

7. LEARNING TARGET:

Distinguish long form and short a vowel sounds.

11. ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:

FORMATIVE:
Make students come to teacher so they can identify pictures on a worksheet and
teacher can ask them to identify long and short vowel words with correct
pronunciation. Have bulletin boards planned accordingly to work with students to
help them recognize the vowels. Encourage group work during circle time to
assess them in groups as well so they can practice as they learn.

SUMMATIVE:
Assessing them individually by a similar format that was given for practice
quizzes. Assessing students at the end of an instructional unit by comparing it
against a benchmark for final assessment of student understanding. The content
of this final exam includes a little of everything that student practiced and
learned.

13. LEARNING ACTIVITIES:
I Do: - Instruct students to join for circle time meeting
- Show flash cards to students (object)
- Ask students to identify the vowel in the word (a,e,i,o,u)
- Ask students if it is a long or short vowel.

Students Do:
-Keep everything at its place, make a circle and sit.
-Make a guess what it is on the cards that teacher shows.
-Identify the vowel sounds (a,e,i,o,u).
-Identify the long/short vowel on the cards.

14. TEACHING STRATEGIES:
- Circle time
- Individual vowel worksheet
- Group / partner activities on computer related to long and short vowels.

15. Closure:
- tell students to quietly go back to their seats
- start another topic or subject.
- instruct them what needs to be done next (what and how)

16. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE:
- Homework given to students to make them practice vowels more
- ask students to make personal vowel charts by cutting and pasting pictures that
go under categories of long and short vowels.
- ask them to submit their homework in next class
- Check for mistakes or corrections
- give feed back
