3	Group Task	10 minutes	Divide students into small groups. Provide them with images and words on paper. Instruct them to create a poster showing short e words.
4	Individual Practice	3 minutes	Distribute short e sound worksheets for students to complete as individuals. Ensure they practice identifying and writing short e words.
