Lesson one started with a Sesame Street video. Students identified immediately with the familiar lead character struggling to find rhyming words. This short video was a quick way to get students warmed up for the rhyming story activity. Mrs. Kneeland also shared a Shel Silverstein poem. She changed her voice throughout the reading to emphasize the dramatic tone of the piece.
During the rhyming story, students partnered up. One chose a object out of the mystery bag and the other partner located the matching anchor chart for their rhyming list. Objects were simple (bat, ball, ring, plain, pen, dice, cube, car, chair, dog and clip) and most partners were able to complete a 10 words list during partner work time. The most challenging rhyme was the list for car. Students with some fishing knowledge rhymed gar with car! Once the list was generated, student partners then created a 4-line poem with their words. Walking around the room helped keep the young poets on task with the subject of their poems. Finally, partners practiced their poems and shared with the class.
