Final

Lesson Plan: SITE WORDS LESSON PLAN AND DICE GAME

C.T.s Signature _____________________________

Name: London Sylvestre Cooperating Teacher: Natalie Ujcich

Date: March 3rd 2015 Subject: Reading/Phonics

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES TO MEET GOALS:
The student will be able to pronounce the list of site words clearly.
The student will be able to read a sentence while using the site words to understand the
context of them.
The student will be using a die to learn and recall numbers represented by dots.
The student will be actively participating in the activity as well as developing good listening
skills while listening to their peers read their sentences.

COMMON CORE STANDARD (General Objectives):
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.1.3
Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding words.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.1.3.D
Use knowledge that every syllable must have a vowel sound to determine the number of
syllables in a printed word.

MOTIVATIONAL TECHNIQUES:
I will set the lesson into the motion by going over the spelling words. The students will be
motivated by the idea that the lesson is a game. It is work disguised as play.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

Dice
Worksheets
Pencils

PROCEDURE FOR THE LESSON:
1. I will start out by going over the spelling words with the students so that the
words may be fresh in their minds.
2. After that the students will be put in groups of 4 or 5.
3. Once the students are grouped I will introduce the lesson as a practice for
their spelling test.
4. I will inform them that they do not need to turn in the worksheet but instead
they will take it home and use it as a study tool for the spelling test.
5. Then I will explain the activity and let them begin.
6. During the activity, I will be walking around and listening to the students
reading the sentences.
7. I will be taking mental notes of which students appear to be struggling so
that I may make sure to review with them individually before the spelling
test.

8. After all of the groups have completed the activity, we will all together go
over the words one last time.
I have chosen this procedure as a work disguised as play activity so that the children may
have fun while practicing their spelling words. Also I put them in small groups so that they
could assist one and other if needed. Also with the small groups, they could learn from each
other while listening to the pronunciation of their peers.

ACADEMIC LANGUAGE:
Reading and listening

ASSESSMENT METHODS:
I will review the site words with the students individually as I did before the activity to see
if they have made any progress.

EVALUATION OF FIELD EXPERIENCE STUDENTS PERFORMANCE:
The lesson went really well. The small groups were a great idea for this small activity. All of
the students had a lot of fun with the game aspect of the worksheet. One problem that
occurred was that students were very anxious waiting for their turn and often got
distracted. I think if I were to do this again, I would have them work in partners to increase
their attention span. This activity really did help the students better understand the site
words used in context.
