Daily Lesson Plan (Template)
Name: Laken Cyrus Date: February 10, 2020
Subject: ELA Topic: Spelling
Grade: 5th Grade Length of Lesson: 15 minutes
Big Idea (Essential Question): Does working with spelling daily help students on their weekly
quiz?
Domain: Early Learning Foundations
Standard: Phonics and Word Recognition
Cluster: ELA.5.II -Know and apply grade-level phonics and word analysis skills in decoding
words.
 Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns,
and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic
words in context and out of context.
Specific Objective: Students will demonstrate mastery of the standard by learning the spelling
of words and their definitions with 80-90% accuracy as measured through the weekly spelling
and definition test.
Introduction: To begin the lesson, the teacher will introduce the spelling list to the students and
have the students find what the words/list has in common. The teacher will ask the students if
they studied their list over the weekend and to raise their hand if they did.
Method(s):
 Game
 Say-Spell-Say
Materials/Equipment/Technology/Community Resources:
 Smartboard
 Spell City
 Spelling List
Depth of Knowledge:
Level 1: Memorize your spelling words
Level 2: Categorize your spelling words
Level 3: Compare the words
Level 4: Apply concepts that you learned to study the words
Direct Instruction/Warm-Up Activity/Presentation/Model Lesson/Make Connections:

The teacher will introduce the list and have the students tell what the list has in common. The
teacher will ask the students what they think the hardest word will be to spell.
Guided Practice: The teacher will have the students say spell say the words. Students will then
say the word and read the definition. The teacher will have the students use spelling city to test
their spelling knowledge through Spelling Unscramble on the Smartboard. Students will come up
and put the word in order. The teacher will also have the class spell the word and unscramble the
word as a whole.
Independent Practice: The students will be allowed to be on spelling city to practice and to
study at home. If time permits during the day or at computer time, students may get on spelling
City to practice their words.
Evaluation/Assessment: The teacher will use formative and informative assessment. The
teacher will use informative through the daily games. The teacher will use formative through the
test at the end of the week on Spelling City.
Wrap-Up (Lesson Closure) / Concluding Activity: The teacher will tell the students to
continue to study each night.
Reflection: During my 64- hour placement, I noticed that the teacher did not incorporate time for
spelling and that the students spelling grades were extremely low. I wanted to incorporate time
for spelling and make the time be engaging and beneficial to the students. I incorporated a
variety of games to aid the students in spelling. I tried to use technology for spelling two times a
week, I would often use spelling unscramble or the definition game on Spelling City. Students
loved to play these games and were competitive. During this time students would correct or help
their peers. I always allowed students to take their definition and part of speech quiz on Spelling
City on Friday. I often gave them their spelling test orally, but a few times I allowed them to take
it on Spelling city. I noticed students did slightly better when taking their spelling on Spelling
City, but my cooperating teacher preferred written tests.
I believe that spelling games that engaged students were one of my strengths. I felt that students
enjoyed them and asked to play different ones. I noticed students had different favorites. I feel
that my weakness in spelling was not having enough time to truly focus on spelling like I would
have liked. I also feel that I did not have time to work one-on-one with spelling with those who
needed it. I hope in my own classroom that I will set time to discuss each word and help students
one-on-one with spelling. I hope to learn more games and websites that will help me to
incorporate spelling technology in the classroom. I love Spelling City, but I hope there is another
game have students engaged on their chrome books such as a race to spell.
