Homework

• Each student will find two words that rhyme at home and draw a picture representing them. Students will submit their drawings at the next class for review, with no presentations required.

Assessment

• Informal assessment through observation during group activities.
• Review homework to assess understanding of rhymes without having students present in front of the class.

Accommodations

• Provide additional support for students who may struggle with identifying rhymes through one-on-one assistance.
• Use visual aids for students with learning difficulties.

Closure
