order thinking questions to help the students connect. The T will be using a PowerPoint
slides presentation to help the students understand identifying a compound word. The T
will ask the students, “What is a compound word?” The T will be assessing the students
to see if they have understanding that a compound word is two words put together to
create a new word with a new meaning. The T will ask the students, “Why does word
one and word two have to be in the correct order to be able to identify the compound
word?” The T will be assessing the students to see if they have a conceptual
understanding that word one has to be in front of word two so that when they combine
the words, it makes the correct compound word. The T will ask the students, “Why is
the meaning of the compound word different than the two words used to create the
compound word?”
Explanation The T will be assessing the students to see if they have a conceptual understanding that
Assessment the compound word is a new word with a different meaning than the two words used to

Elaboration
The T will then explain their partner activity of creating a poster drawing. The T
will explain the directions of the activity before allowing the students to begin
the activity. The T will tell the students that they will be creating a poster
drawing on their poster sheet. The students will draw a picture of word one,
draw a picture of word two, and draw a picture of the new compound word. The
T will tell the students that they will create a text box and type in the word that
they drew a picture of above each drawing on their poster. The T will tell the
students they have 15 minutes to complete this activity and will use the online
stopwatch to help the T and students monitor time. While the students are
working, the T will observe the students to scaffold them by providing verbal
feedback on their poster drawing. The T will be using higher-order thinking
questions to facilitate and guide the students learning and thinking.
Evaluation
In the Engagement Phase, the T will activate the students’ prior knowledge by
having the students turn and talk about how they can identify a compound word
in a sentence. The T will be informally assessing the students to see their prior
knowledge of how to determine a compound word in a sentence by listening
and observing their turn and talks. The T will have the students turn and talk
with their shoulder partner to give an example of a compound word. The T will
be informally assessing the students during this activity to see if the students
are making a conceptual understanding of what a compound word is. The T will
have the students do a formative assessment about a compound word by using
