Procedure: Read poem to class, while allowing them to throw out examples.
Continue the idea stage by placing them in groups of 4 based on ending sound (op, at, ock, ad, ot, etc.) Give each group index cards with the ending sound pre-printed. Have students write the beginning sounds to make rhyming words.
Give an example, such as: map, nap, cap, trap

Evaluation: Each will be based on the ability to supply beginning sounds to complete word families.
