Vocabulary Lesson Plan - Meg&Bree Bake Cookies

Topic: Baking cookies

Objective: New vocabulary

Students will be able to repeat new vocabulary words clearly. They will be able to identify 75% of the vocabulary words when they are spoken by the teacher. They will be able to recall the word by themselves 50% of the time.

Outline:

Introduction	Ask a question or two that brings up the topic, that the students can easily answer by themselves, and that gets them interested.	This can be as simple as asking if the students like cookies.
I do	Using flashcards or slides, show a picture along with the word. Give an example to put the new word into context. (I put butter on my bread. Do I put butter in my water? No!)	Students are not expected to know, or even to be able to read, the words at this stage.
We do	Students listen and repeat the words.	The expectation is for the student to be able to pronounce the word clearly, as they are connecting the word, the picture, and the sound in their minds.
You do	Show the pictures again either with or without the written word, depending on your students. I like to do it once with the word still there, and a second time without the word written at the bottom, gradually encouraging students to be more independent.	Students must rely on their memories to recall the words they just learned. **Note: I like to change the pictures for each round, so that it is not the same picture every time
Read the story	There are several options at this stage. Read the story to the students, pointing out the words as they come up. Read the story and have the students raise their hands when the words come up. Have the students read out loud in pairs Have the students read out loud as a class, taking turns.	Choose the style that suits your class
Game	Some options: Matching game—find the pairs Pictionary Charades	Ending with a game leaves the lesson on a high note, and it is still achieving the goal of reiterating the vocabulary words as many times as possible
