Title – Christmas Spelling Vocabulary Lesson

By – Margaux Silverman

Primary Subject – Language Arts

Grade Level – 3

Introduction:

Here are two useful Christmas vocabulary worksheets

Learning Objective(s):

Students will learn how to spell vocabulary words, learn the definition, changing the word to plural/singular, add -ing if necessary.

List of Materials Needed:

1. Spelling List
   
2. Worksheet for Plural/Singular
   
3. Vocabulary Test

Pre-Activity Preparation:

Show an example of what we are doing on the worksheet and review the vocabulary words.

Transition:

Students should be in their individual desks and focused on the projector.

Procedure:

Step 1) Motivation/Introduction:
Ask the students, “What special holiday is coming up?”

(The answer will obviously be Christmas.)

Then ask,”What are some words to describe Christmas?

Step 2) Give the students a list of their vocabulary words.

Step 3) Then give them a worksheet so they can write their own definitions of the words.

Step 4) As a class, go over what each vocabulary word means and have the students use their red pens to write down the correct definition. As a class, also talk about why the definitions are right/wrong.

Step 5) Then hand out a plural/singular worksheet and show #1 as an example.

(They should know what to do, if not, that is what the example is for.)


Step 6) Closure:
Go over the vocabulary words again. The students will also review the words on their own time. At the end of the week, give the class a spelling test. (

You say the words aloud and they write them down.
