students

The rest of us will be working together to try to trick the

Leprechaun.
We will be trying to trick the Leprechaun by hiding a Coin
from
him or her. Students say the word "Coin" and we
pose the
question: What is a coin?

-While the "Leprechaun" is turned around, and when we finish making

the coin vanish behind someone's back by the student clasping it in their
hands, we will whisper "Leprechaun, Leprechaun, Where's your
Coin?"
Ask students to repeat the word "whisper", in a whisper voice.
Explain what a whisper is. We will expand/elaborate on their responses.
(We will do this with each vocabulary word).

Review/Assessment: Reviewing key vocabulary and content concepts,

providing regular feedback, and using a variety of assessments of student
comprehension and learning throughout the lesson.
Throughout the Leprechaun, Leprechaun, Where's your Coin?" game
we will ask the students what they think the different vocabulary words
mean and then explain the definition of each. Along with the definition of
the word we will check to see that the students understand what the words
mean by observing their actions during the game.

After the students complete their

sentence frame we will walk around and
listen to each peer present their sentence
to see if they use a vocabulary
word/words correctly.

Conclusion:
Students come up and use the word wand to point to
the vocab words on the board, say the word, and give
or act out the definition.
