| Name: Sue Dempsey, Dawn McNally, Joan Auciello | School: Cole |
| Learning Activity Title: Decoding "Magic E" words | |
| Grade Level(s): 1 | Subject Area: Language Arts |
| Description of Activity:
What is the learning experience? What will teachers and students do during
the course of the activity? Through what performances or products will
students demonstrate what they know and are able to do? To understand the concept of decoding "silent e" words students will make a magic wand by adding a star to the end of a straw. This becomes the magic wand which they will use to change words with short vowel sounds into words with long vowel sounds. Student will look at a paragraph on the computer that was written by the teacher. Students will find words that need the magic e at the end. This will be done by placing the magic e wand at the end of the word with the short vowel sound and type the E. Students will then read the new word with the long vowel sound. Using their magic wands, students will practice with a partner to transform other word with the short vowel sounds. Students will then read and print out the paragraph which contains magic e words with all vowel sounds. Once printed, they will highlight all the magic e's in the paragraph. |
