Blended Learning Lesson Plan

Lesson Title:
Reading Sentences
Objectives:
Students will be able to recognize spaces.
Students will be able to put words together to form a sentence.
Students will be able to read sentence from left to right.
State Standards:
1.1 Follow words from left to right, top to bottom, and front to back
1.3 Understand that words are separated by spaces in print

Context: I am teaching this lesson because it is important for students to understand how to
read sentences and know how to write sentences. Before this lesson, a prior lesson will be
needed to be taught as in small words and what is a sentence. Students will need to have
previous knowledge on different words. Students will also need to know things like their left and
right, and what a period is. After the lesson, students will continue to form larger sentences. I
am teaching the foundation of starting a sentence so students can continue to form bigger ones.
Data: Students will be grouped on how progressive their knowledge is. If they already know a
lot of words and word forms, then they will be in a higher group. Data for future groupings will
be collected by seeing the sentences they form.

Procedures:
Introduction (10 minutes):
To start, I will ask the class to come to the carpet and sit down. I will introduce what a sentence
is (just in case someone is confused about it). I will then put the “Sentence Song”, by Scratch
Garden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wrv_ZviMEc. This song goes over capital letters,
periods, question marks, spaces, and which way to read a sentence from. This will be a good
introduction into the lesson.
Teacher Directed (30 minutes):
The students will stay on the carpet for this. We will first read a story of the day from the app
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/one-story-a-day-beginners/id1552482131. As we are reading, I
will ask questions from the class, “What is a sentence?” “What is the thing at the end of a
sentence?” “Which way are we reading?” We will continue to read the story until we finish it.
We will then get to yell out sone of the words that we remember being in the story. After we
have a good number of words (20-30), I will call on students to form sentences from the words (I
will write the sentences on the board). We will only do about three or four before we move into
our groups, where the students will get to form their own sentences from the story we read.

Collaborative (30 minutes):

The students will then get into groups that I place them into, they can sit on the floor or go back
to their tables. This will be based on how well they are on making sentences based of their
previous knowledge. In their groups, they will pull up the art app that is already installed on their
computers. They will make 2 sentences per group based on the words that we called out from the
story. After about 15 minutes we will all come back together, and each group will get to show
their sentences and we will talk about them. This will also be saved to show what they worked
on today.
Independent Digital (15 minutes):
The students will all go to their desk and pull back out their computers. They will pull up the app
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sight-words-pre-k-to-3rd/id1500571996?mt=12 and will all
silently go through the app for 15 minutes. They will get to work at their own pace in forming
sentences from sight words. This will just help them further their understanding in sentences.
Closure (10 minutes):
For the closing, it will not be very complex. I will ask question like “What is a space”, “What is
a period?” to make sure they know the aspect of a sentence. I will then replay the video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wrv_ZviMEc, where know they can sing along and
understand what the video is about.
Rationale: You must have at least two paragraphs (one for each mandatory piece of
multimedia)
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sight-words-pre-k-to-3rd/id1500571996?mt=12): This
piece is a multimedia because it allows for the kids to make sentences on their own, on
their laptops. They use sight words to form a sentence on the technology. This goes along
with the standards because to form the sentence, they must read it from left to right and
know why the spaces between the words are there. I know it is high quality because it is
rated good, and because I went throughout the app. It is very engaging and easy to work.
The media is bright with fun colors, it is creative, and it is easy to understand. I think it
should be rated very good. It allows instruction for all learners because the students can
go at their own pace, and they can have screen readers on. They can also make the
words bigger.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Wrv_ZviMEc: This is multimedia because not only

are the kids watching a video, but they are able to sing and dance to it, while learning.
The video talks about the makeup of a sentence. It talks about how to read it, capitals
letters, periods, questions marks and spaces. It goes directly in what the standards are. I
know it is high quality because it is very engaging for kids, it is something they would be
interested in looking at. I think this video should be rated the highest because not only is
it educational, but the students would be very engaged with it. This medio not only can
have captions but it also has visuals.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/one-story-a-day-beginners/id1552482131: It is multimedia
because it will be reading a story for technology for a lesson. It supports the objective
because we will be reading sentences, talking about it and it will be the base for the
entire lesson. I would rate it lower on the scale, just since it may be a little hard for
children to read on their own without the teacher. This can include all learners because
the teacher is able to break the words down. Also, you can make the fonts bigger, and it
is words, not sounds.
