Observation 4 Lesson

The lesson focuses on teaching 3rd grade students about closed syllable patterns, where a short vowel is closed in by a consonant, through modeling, guided practice identifying syllables in words, and informal assessment of understanding. Resources include a smart board, benchmark textbook, student name cards, and example words with closed syllables for identification. The goal is for students to be able to identify and read words with closed syllable patterns.

Lesson Topic: Word Study – Closed Syllable Patterns

Grade: 3rd Date: Tuesday, November 5th, 2019

Standards: Common Core ELA Time Frame:


Language  Approx.
 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.2.F - Use spelling patterns and 15-20
generalizations (e.g., word families, position-based spellings, syllable minutes
patterns, ending rules, meaningful word parts) in writing words.

Reading: Foundational Skills


 CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.3.3.C- Decode multisyllable words.

Lesson Objective:
 Students will be able to identify and read words with closed syllable patterns.

Resources and Materials: Language/ Key Vocabulary:


 Smart board/document camera  Syllable
 Benchmark Teacher Resource
 Student name cards
 Class dojo

Context of this lesson:


 Prior knowledge: Students have been learning and practicing syllables since
Kindergarten, so they have knowledge of what syllables are and how to clap them.
 Previous lesson: The last word study we did was on “r-controlled vowels: er, ir, and
ur”. Benchmark guides our word study lessons.
 Next lesson: Next week we will be doing a related lesson on open syllable patterns.

Instructional Strategies and Learning Tasks


Introduction:
 Have students sit at the carpet for this quick word study lesson, assign partners
 Ask students “What is a syllable? Quickly tell your partner what a syllable is.”

Instruction and Modeling:


 Tell students that we’re going to learn about closed syllables (definition: a syllable
containing 1 vowel that is closed in by a consonant and the vowel sound is short)
 Provide examples on the board and show students where the syllable is by drawing a
slash after clapping them out
 Provide 1 syllable examples: wet, ship; Then do 2 together: sit, hot
 Provide 2 syllable example: basket; Then do 1 together; follow

Guided Practice:
Show a list of words on the board under the document camera.
 Have students identify the syllables with their partners by clapping them out
 Put the challenge words on the board as well for students to identify where the closed
syllables are located
Call on students randomly using their name cards to identify where the syllables are in the
given words.

Closure:
 Have students to turn to their partner and tell them what a closed syllable is.
 Connect syllables back to shared reading “whenever we see a word that we don’t know
how to say, we can use syllables to help us sound it out”.

Assessment: Homework: None for this lesson.


Informal or formative: I will be asking
questions about closed syllable patterns and
monitoring students throughout the lesson
to gauge understanding.

Differentiation: Challenge:
 The smart board allows students to look at  Offer students challenge words to
the words for spelling and help with determine where the closed
locating the syllables. syllables are in the word.
 Offer a variety of difficulty with word
choice

List of closed syllable words for lesson:

problem camel

patterns structural

fantastic desert

Challenge: where are the closed syllables?

octopus limited adaptation
