LEARNING EXPERIENCE
STEP-BY-STEP PROCEDURE: List in sequence the steps of this lesson, from beginning to end. Lessons should be divided into two parts: (1) describe how the content will be taught and (2) how the students will practice applying the content.
The teaching of content includes 3 parts:
- Hook – As my
hook I for this lesson will start with reviewing what a contraction is and ask
students to give me a few examples. Then I will be telling the students that
they are going to be doctors today and they will be doing contraction surgery.
I will hand out name cards for the students to write Doctor_______ and tell
them to put them on.
- Content – The
content that will be taught during this lesson is contractions are a way to put
two words together to make a new, shorter word. Some contractions are short
ways of putting a verb and the word not together. In contractions an apostrophe
takes the place of one or more letters. I will write do not = don’t on a white
board and read it aloud. I will point out that the contraction don’t is a
shorter way to put the two words do not together. The apostrophe takes the
place of the letter o in not
- Multiple
approaches will be used to teach this lesson because I am using a fun hands on
activity for the students to create contractions.

- Checking
for Understanding –. I will tell
the students that I will be reading a few sentences. I will tell the students
when they hear two words that can be a contraction to stick their hands up in
the air. I will call on someone to tell me what contraction the two words can
make and then I will re-read the sentence.
I will tell the students to hear if the sentence sounds good to their
ears with that contraction. They will give me a thumbs up or a thumbs down
after I am done reading the sentence with the new contraction. I will have five
sentences.
Student practice involves three scaffolded stages:
- Guided
Practice – For the guided practice students will be put into pairs.
Each pair will receive cut out words, gloves, masks, and band aids. I will
explain that they will be doing contraction surgery. They will have to cut the word
and nt out and use a band aid to connect the contraction together. I will explain that the band aid will be like
our apostrophe. Students will record contractions on the contraction recording
worksheet.
- Independent
Practice – For the independent practice students will complete the
workbook page GR75 in pairs.
