Estimated time length of lesson: 1 hour

Materials and/or Technology


A device, Zoom, google classroom, Jamboard, Whiteboard.chat, worksheet

Concept(s)
Students will be able to use their knowledge of words to help define and classify
unknown words.

Alignment with Standards


CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.3.3.B
Decode words with common Latin suffixes.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.4.A
Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.

CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.4.B
Determine the meaning of the new word formed when a known affix is added to a
known word (e.g., agreeable/disagreeable, comfortable/uncomfortable, care/careless,
heat/preheat).

Objectives
● Applying the knowledge of affixes and roots of words, students will be able to
accurately define unknown words as positive or negative with 80% or more
mastery.
● Applying the knowledge of affixes and roots of words, students will be able to
accurately group unknown words by word class with 80% or more mastery.

Assessment
I will be using our digital whiteboard as an informal assessment. Students will be
working in a group and individually completing a worksheet that I can look back at later
for knowledge of understanding. I will also be using a Jamboard as an instructional tool
at the beginning of the lesson.

Vocabulary/Literacy Skills
● Vocabulary learned/reinforced
○ Affixes (prefix - dis, suffix - ous)
● Literacy skills
○ Listening, speaking, reading, writing

Procedure
Name of instructional model: Online Instruction
Student Groupings: Whole Group Discussion/Breakout groups
Modifications:
● English Learners: Extra time, discussion, modeling
● IEP Students (Inclusion Students): Extra time, discussion, modeling

A. Focus/Motivation (Open)
I will start the lesson as a whole group. I will read two extracts from Chapter 8
(Snozzcumbers) in “The BFG.” We will then be using Jamboard to discuss the
meanings of two unknown words from the story. They will decide whether the words
mean something ‘good’ or ‘bad.’ We will also discuss certain affixes and how that can
be a context clue to the meaning of the word.

B. Development (Body)
Students will be put into small groups in breakout rooms on Zoom. Each student will
have their own copies of the extracts from the chapter we are working with from “The
BFG” and will also have their own worksheet to use on Whiteboard.chat. As a group
they will be reading through the extracts to find unknown words. They will then put those
words into two different categories: positive or negative. For my more advanced groups,
they will then take their list of words and separate them into their word class (ie.
adjective, noun, or verb).

If time, as a whole group, we will discuss the meaning of some more mystery words that
we have read throughout the book so far. The students will see the whole sentence with
the word in it and will use their context clues to define the word. If this becomes too
difficult, I will give them an option of multiple choice and let them choose which one they
think the word might mean.

C. Closure (Close)
I will ask my students some questions as they think back on the day. What did they
learn? What questions do they have? What are they looking forward to learning next?
With this, I want them to think back and reflect on the day and what they actually did in
class.
