**Lesson Plan: Sound Patterns 'ery' and 'ory'** **Subject:** English Language (Phonics) **Grade Level:** Primary 4 **Duration:** 45 Minutes **Topic:** Sound Patterns 'ery' and 'ory' ### **Lesson Objectives:** By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: 1. Recognize and pronounce words ending in 'ery' and 'ory'. 2. Differentiate between words ending in 'ery' and 'ory'. 3. Use words with 'ery' and 'ory' in sentences correctly. ### **Materials Needed:** - Whiteboard and markers - Flashcards with 'ery' and 'ory' words - Worksheets for individual practice - Audio recordings of 'ery' and 'ory' words (optional) - Chart paper and markers for group activity ### **Introduction (10 Minutes):** 1. **Greeting and Warm-Up:** - Greet the students and briefly discuss their day. - Engage students in a quick warm-up by asking them to spell simple words from previous lessons. 2. **Introduction to Sound Patterns:** - Explain to the students that today they will learn about two sound patterns found at the end of words, 'ery' and 'ory'. - Write 'ery' and 'ory' on the board and ask if they recognize any words that end with these sounds. ### **Direct Instruction (15 Minutes):** 3. **Teaching 'ery' Pattern:** - Introduce words ending with 'ery' (e.g., bakery, nursery, gallery). - Write the words on the board and underline the 'ery' ending. - Pronounce each word clearly, emphasizing the 'ery' sound. - Ask students to repeat after you. 4. **Teaching 'ory' Pattern:** - Introduce words ending with 'ory' (e.g., history, factory, laboratory). - Write the words on the board and underline the 'ory' ending. - Pronounce each word clearly, emphasizing the 'ory' sound. - Ask students to repeat after you. 5. **Comparing the Two Patterns:** - Discuss the visual and auditory differences between 'ery' and 'ory'. - Provide a few example sentences using 'ery' and 'ory' words. ### **Guided Practice (10 Minutes):** 6. **Interactive Flashcard Activity:** - Show flashcards with 'ery' and 'ory' words. - Ask students to identify if the word ends in 'ery' or 'ory'. - Students can come to the board to place flashcards under the correct column (one labeled 'ery', one labeled 'ory'). 7. **Pronunciation Practice:** - Play audio recordings of 'ery' and 'ory' words if available. - Let students listen and then pronounce the words aloud. ### **Independent Practice (5 Minutes):** 8. **Worksheets:** - Distribute worksheets with a mix of 'ery' and 'ory' words. - Students must categorize the words correctly and use them in sentences. - Circulate to provide assistance and feedback. ### **Group Activity (5 Minutes):** 9. **Word Discovery:** - Divide the class into small groups. - Provide chart paper and markers. - Each group lists as many 'ery' and 'ory' words as they can. - Groups then share their lists with the class. ### **Conclusion (5 Minutes):** 10. **Review and Recap:** - Recap the lesson by reviewing the key points about 'ery' and 'ory' sound patterns. - Ask students to share one new word they learned today and use it in a sentence. 11. **Closing:** - Congratulate students on their hard work. - Assign a small homework task: find three objects/items at home that have 'ery' or 'ory' in their names and write sentences using those words. - Remind students to practice these words with family members. ### **Assessment:** - Informal observation during activities and guided practice. - Review of independent practice worksheet for correctness. - Listening to students' pronunciation during group and individual practice. ### **Homework:** Students will write down three 'ery' or 'ory' words they find at home and use each word in a sentence. --- This lesson plan aims to help Primary 4 students recognize and correctly use words ending in 'ery' and 'ory', fostering both their phonetic awareness and vocabulary development.
