State the Objective (Learning Expectation)

Second graders will develop and use decoding strategies.  2.1.05b. Use decoding strategies, such as sounding out words, comparing similar words, breaking words into smaller words, and looking for word parts (e.g. compound words)

 

Teacher Strategy

The teacher will use learning styles, especially visual and auditory, for this lesson.

 

Classroom Arrangement

Large group on the carpet area for introduction to compound words.  Students will sit facing the media cart. 

 

Process and Procedures

The definition of a compound word will be discussed while viewing slide 1.  The next few slides give examples of compound words.   Each student

will fold a piece of un-ruled paper into four squares.  Students will read the directions on the slide, practicing creating compound words.  The following

slide allows the students to check their work.  The teacher will monitor as the students work and check their work.  The students will then

work whole group to find compound words on the next few slides.   On slide 17 the students will follow directions to create compound words on the

back of their white paper.  The students will then check their paper by looking at slide 18.  The lesson will end with a slide which restates the

definition of a compound word.  The students will return to their seats and complete a worksheet about compound words.

 

 

Teacher’s Role

The teacher models and leads discussion in the introduction.  She will monitor as the students create compound words.  The teacher will need to have the PowerPoint presentation ready to share with the students.  She will need to have the assessment worksheet copied and readily handy to pass out after the lesson.

Extend the learning by allowing the students to work with a partner to create a compound word power point slide.  After all partners have

Created their slides I will call all the students back to the carpet to view the classes’  Power Point presentation of compound words.
