Lesson Plan: OR Vowels

Subject: English

Grade: 3

Duration: 30 Minutes

Topic: OR Vowels

Objective

By the end of this lesson, students will be able to identify and use the OR vowel sound in different words effectively.

Materials Needed

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector (optional)
• Printed worksheets with OR vowel exercises
• Flashcards with OR words
• Dictionaries (optional)

Introduction (5 minutes)

Begin the lesson by introducing the topic of OR vowels. Explain that the OR sound is heard in words like "horn," "fork," and "short." Ask students if they can think of any other words that contain the OR vowel sound. Write these words on the whiteboard as they come up.

Direct Instruction (10 minutes)

1. Explain the OR Sound:
   Discuss how the OR sound can be found at the beginning, middle, or end of words.

2. Examples:

   • Beginning: "orphan," "ore"
   • Middle: "storm," "corner"
   • End: "score," "store"

3. Introduce Spelling Patterns:
   Demonstrate the common spelling patterns associated with the OR vowel sound, such as "or," "orn," and "ore." Write examples on the whiteboard.

4. Phonics Practice:
   Conduct a short phonics drill where students repeat the OR sound after you. Use flashcards to show a variety of OR words and have students read them aloud.

Guided Practice (10 minutes)

Distribute the printed worksheets with OR vowel exercises. The exercises may include:

• Fill in the Blanks:

  • "The ____ (storm/stop) was very loud."
  • "We went to the ____ (store/stop) to buy apples."

• Matching: Match the words with the correct pictures related to OR sounds (e.g., a picture of a "fork," "door," "horn").

Encourage students to work in pairs to complete the worksheets. Walk around the classroom to provide support and feedback.

Independent Practice (5 minutes)

After completing the worksheet, ask students to write three sentences using their favorite OR words. Remind them to underline the OR words in each sentence. This will exercise their writing and comprehension skills.

Conclusion (5 minutes)

Review the OR vowel sound and the vocabulary words discussed during the lesson. Ask individual students to share their sentences and identify the OR words. Reinforce the pronunciation and spelling of those words.

Homework Assignment

For homework, students will complete the following tasks:

1. Flashcard Creation: Create a set of 5 flashcards for OR words. Each flashcard should have the word on one side and a corresponding drawing on the other side.
2. Sentence Writing: Write five sentences, each using different OR words they have learned. Underline the OR words in each sentence.

Answers for Homework

1. Sample OR Words for Flashcards:

   • Door
