Step 3 Lesson Plan-Revised
Students will be able to identify words with a long vowel sounds and final -e by circling words in the text
that follow that sound rule.
Language Demands:
What vocabulary will be learned throughout this lesson?
Students must know what the vowels are (a, e, i, o, u) and the sounds they make. Students must be able to
recognize that adding a final -e sound changes the sound the vowel makes (or, says its own name).
IV. INSTRUCTION
A. ENGAGEMENT:
How will you introduce the content and get students interested?
On the carpet, I will read “Pete Saves the Day” on a large book with big texts so that students are able
to see the story. Together we will read the short story “Pete Saves the Day” and as a class we will read
for accuracy.
B. INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE: (adjust your number of steps as needed)
Step #4: Class will begin to answer the questions at the bottom of the page.
a. What will the teacher do? Read first question. Ask class if anyone knows the answer.
b. What will the students do? Answer the first question.
Step #7: Draw a picture that represents what the story is about.
a. What will the teacher do? Ask a student to tell the class what important thing happened in the
story.
b. What will the students do? Student will say something along the lines of “Pete was small
enough to reach the baseball.”
Step #8: Walk around and check that they have completed the questions and see their drawings.
C. APPLICATION ACTIVITY:
How will students apply what they learned?
“Pete Saves the Day” is another reading that can help students practice readings where the vowel’s
pronunciation is changed when a final -e is present.
The drawing activity also helps students review what the main idea of the story is.
V. ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:
Formative:
How will you check for understanding throughout the lesson and monitor progress?
As the class is reading along to “Pete Saves the Day” I can hear for accuracy.
Summative:
How will you know if they mastered the standard?
When checking the responses in their “My Shared Reading 5/6” I can see if students were able to identify
the sound the final -e causes, if they circled the words correctly.
How will differentiate for struggling students and high achievers? (Modification)
For students struggling I will make sure to provide different examples of the long e
sound before we begin reading so they can hear examples. For students who are
high achievers I will ask to provide some examples of words with the long e sound on
their own.
VII. CLOSURE:
How will you conclude the lesson?
After walking around to see that students have finished circling words with the long e
sound in the story and have finished their drawing of the main idea in the story, I will
choose a few students to share their drawing with the class. In their desk they can
stand up and hold up their picture for the class to see.
