Strategies

• Interactive Read-Aloud

• Vocabulary Building Strategies

• Partner/Small Group

Materials

• Cards for rhyming game with words

• Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman

• Rhyming words from story for word wall

• Group rhyming worksheet (Attached)

• Paper for poems

• Dry erase boards with markers

Procedure

Anticipatory Set

• To get students ready for using rhyming words, they will play a game. At each table group, several cards with words on them will be laying face up on the table. The teacher will say a word (e.g. clap) and the students will quickly look for the words on their table that rhyme with that word (e.g. flap). There will be two of each word. To make the game fairer for ELL and low-reading students, if you grab a card, you must wait one round before you can grab another.

Teaching

• First, the book Bear Snores On by Karma Wilson and Jane Chapman will be read to the class. As a preview to the reading, there will be a class “bookwalk” where the teacher will slowly show students the pictures and then the students can make predictions about what they think the story will be about.

• After reading the story, the teacher will ask students what they noticed about the story. Did they notice any rhyming words? Have students pay close attention as you read the book a second time.

• As a post-reading activity, ask students to name some of the rhyming words they heard in the story. List them on the board and later transfer them to a word wall.

• In the front of the class, create a poem, so that they can see the process. The poem can be about something other than bears, just so that students understand the process. Have students help come up with rhyming words that will fit into the poem.

Guided Practice

• In groups, have students come up with 5 sets of rhyming words that they will try to use in their bear poems on a worksheet.

• Help students that may need ideas. Try to get students to come up with words that are relevant to describing bears.

Independent Practice

• Have students create 6-line poems about bears. Students can include the rhyming words that their group created, rhyming words from the story, or they can use other rhyming words if they want.

• Give students paper to write on that has six lines on it.

Closure

• Once students have finished writing their poems, have them share with their group.

• Then, have a class Poetry Jam. Have each student get up in front of the class to share their poem.

• When students are listening to poems being read, they can write at least one set of rhyming words on a dry erase board with a partner that they hear. This will give students other ideas of rhyming words and vocabulary practice.

• Have students take home their poems to share with their families, this will connect the home and school. ELL students can discuss their work in their L1, to build vocabulary knowledge about the content in their native language.

Differentiation

*Underlined in the procedure section.

Assessment

• Informal Assessment

o Participation in the rhyming word game.

o Rhyming word worksheet to be done in groups.

o Informal questions to individuals about rhyming words.

• Formal Assessment

o The formal assessment will be the student’s poems. This will show that students know what rhyming words are and how to use them in a poem about bears. Also, look for comparative adjectives used in ELL poetry, specifically.

Reflection

*To be done after lesson is taught.
