Procedures:
Step One:
Introduction
Have a small group of students go to a computer. Explain to
students that you are going to use the computer to read an
Mini-Research eBook
about rhyming and non-rhyming
words.
List 2 or more
questions that introduce students
to your Mini-Research eBook that will establish a
connection to students' prior knowledge by asking them:
1. "Does the word cat and mouse rhyme?"
2. "Can you tell me two words that do rhyme?"
Today we are going
to read an eBook
on the Internet.
I have made a special Mini-Research eBook on the Internet for your
class. (During discussion have students turn around away from the
computer to interact.)
Estimated Time for Step One:
5 minutes
Step Two
Teaching the Primary Learning Outcomes:
(Students will sit at the computer where they can control the mouse
and computer.) (Explain to students the process of the
lesson.) We are going to read my Mini-Research eBook and visit
several websites.
Check for understanding
Students with teacher assistance will read the Mini-Research eBook,
explore, and
discuss
the information in the four linking websites that go with the
Mini-Research eBook. Ask
students guiding
questions about the important concepts in the Mini-Research eBook and
the linking
websites. List four or more questions from each of your
linking websites that will guide your students to gain information for
your PLO.
1. Does frog and log rhyme
with each other?
2. Does bird and fish
rhyme?
3.
Can you tell me one other word that rhymes with star and car?
4.
How do you know that mouse and house rhyme?
Practice and feedback related to the
PLO
Read the Mini-Research eBook project to students. Explain to
students that
they
are going to be a detective in their classroom,
and they will have to pick
out the pictures that rhyme and put
them in their briefcase to solve the mystery.
Tell
the
students that the information that they will need to complete
their Mini-Research eBook project is listed and connected in
the Mini-Research eBook
activity. Review the
information in the linked website in
the Mini-Research eBook activity with the students to emphasize
interesting and important information students will need to complete
mission
project.

Real-World
Activity: Today, we are going to pretend that we are rhyming
detectives. A dectective is a spy. They go around looking
for things, and figuring things out. You read a book about a spy
just a few days ago. The dectective is having a hard time
figuring out the mystery. Help him figure out the clues, by
finding the rhyming words and gluing/drawing the pictures in your
briefcase. There will be some words that rhyme and others that
do not. If you pick the words that do not rhyme, you will not be
able to crack the mystery. Look carefully! If you need help
distinguishing between rhyming and non-rhyming words, watch the rhyming
video, and then help Digby
find his way to found by rhyming words.

This
student was able to recognize some rhyming words and non-rhyming words
throughout the ebook lesson and the games we played. The Wonder
Red game moved at a faster pace, so it was harder for her to
distinguish between the rhyming and non-rhyming words. When we
got to the activity, she did a wonderful job picking out two pictures
that rhymed and writing the word below the picture.

This
student was able to recognize some rhyming words and non-rhyming
words. He could give me the exact definition of how we know if a
word rhymes, but got a little confused when the games moved a faster
pace and he had to sound out the words himself. The ebook lesson
really payed off when it came to the activity. He did an excelent
job finding the two pictures that rhymed and gluing them in the brief
case to solve the mystery.

Comment
on your
teaching of how your
Mini-Research eBook
Lesson created learning experiences and activities that
implemented the use a variety of resources and technologies. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
I used the computer, a clip from a rhyming
song, educational games, and pictures of rhyming words to teach my
ebook lesson. These four things were very useful in keeping the
students interest and making them excited about learning. They
loved the games, and this really made them want to learn about rhyming
and non-rhyming words. The activity was set up in a way to make
it fun for them as well. They got to pretend they were a spy and
have their own brief case. They loved this and it made them
really focus on getting the rhyming words right because they wanted to
solve the mystery.
2. State evidence to show that
your students gained knowledge during your Mini-Research eBook
Lesson. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
At first, the students had a hard time
distingushing between words that rhymed and words that did not
rhyme. They could tell me the definition, but then when they had
to sound the words out for themselves and identify them, they got mixed
up. Alot of times they would base it off of the beginning sound
instead of the ending sound. As we played each game, they got
better and better until they got a perfect score. When we got to
the activity, they both picked two pictures that rhymed and glued them
in
their brief case on the first try.
3. Give at least one suggestion that
would lead to improving your teaching practices and student
achievement. (*
To receive full credit description must include a minimum of two
sentences and a detailed example.)
If I could do one
thing to improve my lesson, I would add more games. They seemed
to have a lot of fun with the games and improve each time they played
one. The games kept their interest and made them want to
learn.
