example of why spelling words are important. Teacher will ask students to give real life
examples of a time when they did not know how to spell certain words and how it
affected their outcome.

students will be placed in groups of three, and the teacher will pass out bags with note
cards with words that are scrambled. They will also receive a worksheet to fill in the
missing word. They are to find out which word goes in the bank and spell it the correct

switching worksheet with a partner and allowing them to read the sentences.
