Tell learners that a pail is a bucket and a crown is the top head. Discuss the capital letters for names and listen for the words that rhyme. What will learners know by the end of the lesson?

By the end of the lesson, learners will know that a pail is another word for a bucket, a crown is the top of the head, the importance of using capital letters for names, and how to identify words that rhyme.

Lesson Outline:

Objective:

- Learners will know that a pail is a bucket and a crown is the top head.
- Learners will be able to identify the capital letters for names.
- Learners will be able to listen for words that rhyme.

Materials:

- A pail or bucket
- A crown or headband
- A mirror

Procedure:

1. Introduce the pail and crown. Show learners the pail and the crown. Say, "This is a pail. It is a bucket. We use it to carry water or other things." Then, say, "This is a crown. It is a top head. We wear it on our heads when we are kings or queens."
2. Talk about the capital letters for names. Ask learners if they know what a capital letter is. Explain that capital letters are the big letters at the beginning of our names. Say, "My name is Mrs. Smith. The capital letter in my name is S." Write the letter S on the board. Then, ask learners to write the capital letter for their own names on a piece of paper.
3. Listen for words that rhyme. Say a word, such as "cat." Then, ask learners to say a word that rhymes with it, such as "hat." Continue playing this game with other words, such as "dog" (hog), "ball" (tall), and "tree" (bee).

Assessment:

- To assess learners' understanding, ask them the following questions:
- What is a pail?
- What is a crown?
- What is a capital letter?
- What are some words that rhyme with "cat"?

Differentiation:

- For struggling learners, provide them with more support during the activities. For example, help them to identify the capital letter in their names or give them a list of words that rhyme.
- For advanced learners, challenge them to come up with more complex words that rhyme.
