Lesson Objectives:
Students will learn and practice the difference
Between “long A /eɪ/ ” and “Short A/a/” and long “O” and “long O /oʊ/ and “short /ɑː/”
Warm-up and Objective Discussion:
Students will be shown some words on power-point such as ,
Snake and Snack
Rate and Rat
Rain and Ran
Main and Man
Then they will be asked to pronounce them.
Then they will be shown words like,
Note and Not
Goat and Got
Rode, road and Rod
Ode and Odd
Then they will be asked to pronounce these words.
Students will be told that they are going to learn the difference between long A and short A and long O and short O.
Instruct and Model:
Students will be taught the sound / eɪ / / a/
I will have students listen to the pronunciations of words with both sounds from Cambridge advanced learners’ dictionary.
They will try to recognize then they will be taught the possible spelling pattern for both sounds.
For Short A sound: CVC: Consonant, Vowel and Consonant and Vowel Consonant
Bat, Hat, Bad , Ban, Cat, Fat, Chat, Lack, Hack, Rat, App, Lap, Lab, etc
Then the examples of Long A Sound:
Vowel + Consonant +E : Hate, Late ,lane , crane, Chase, face, phase, etc
EI,AI ,ay and ey : Neighbor, Rein, brain, rain, gain. Pray, prey, lay, stay, day, etc
Students will also be told some non-phonetic words such as,
Have, great, again (north American), said, says,
Guided Practice:
Students will be given worksheets to recognize the sounds / eɪ/ / a/, / oʊ/ and / ɑː/
Students will work in group and they will recognize the sounds and they will discuss the sounds as well and help each other where necessary.
Independent Practice:
Students will be given tongue twisters such as,
The faded fad of aiding bad fat hateful Stan stains society like crayon on the side of a crane.
I hate the hats that Nate and Nat wear at eight o’clock in their paid pad.
The rain ran through gran’s grain, down the lined lain, and through the man’s mane of hatless hair.
Instruct and Model:
The short O and long O sounds will be introduced.
They will be taught the possible spelling pairs for both sounds.
Short Vowel Sound:
CVC and VC rule such as Not, Hot, Pot, Lot, Rod God, Slot, bomb , Nod etc
Then the spelling pairs for the long O sound such as,
O+Consonant+ E : Note, Coke, smoke, Bone, Stone, Rope,
OA, OW: Coach, blow, Crow, Foam, Roam,Oat, boast etc
Students will be told some non phonetic words such as,
Most, Ghost, host etc
Guided Practice:
Students will do a worksheet for long O and short O sound again in group.
Independent practice:
Students will be given tongue twisters like,
Opie knows old boats go slow.
The coat from the coast cost
more than most.
Assessment and homework:
I will check for accuracy and will notice some prominent mistakes and keep them in spaced repetition bar for teaching later.
Students will be given home assignments to record their tongue twisters in their mobile and then send me.
