    The key takeaways are that the lesson teaches second grade students about contractions, what they are, common contractions, and provides activities like reading a book, singing a song, and worksheets for students to identify and use contractions.

    The purpose of the lesson is for students to be able to describe what contractions are, identify and pronounce common contractions, and use contractions in sentences.

    The teacher introduces contractions by using a puppet named Apostrophe that 'eats' letters and replaces them with an apostrophe. The teacher provides examples of contractions like 'is not' and 'can not' and explains that a contraction is a shortened form of two words with letters replaced by an apostrophe.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rQ1-7yo-BI (Beware of
    Contractions song)
    Procedure:
    1. The teacher will welcome the class and ask, How is everyone feeling
    today? Then go over classroom rules and have students sign the
    classroom rules so there would not be any disruptions.

    2. Anticipatory set-The teacher will show students a puppet (anything will


    work) and say, This is my friend, most of you may know him but I
    have nicknamed him Apostrophe. He does a special thing and that is
    how he received his nickname. The teacher will continue saying,
    What special thing do you think this puppet does? The teacher will
    explain that the puppet eats letters and replaces them with an
    apostrophe and that is how it received its nickname. The teacher will
    say, I would write two words then I would turn around and see a letter
    or letters missing if he is very hungry and then they were replaced with
    an apostrophe. I told my friend Melissa about him, she wrote a song,
    and here it is. Then the teacher will introduce the Beware of
    Contractions by Melissa song.
    3. The teacher will say, Today you will be learning about contractions.
    Say contractions. Now lets tap the word out. The teacher will repeat
    the process twice.
    4. The teacher will explain what a contraction is by saying, A contraction
    is a shortened form of one or two words. We take some of the letters
    out of the second word and replace them with an apostrophe. Then we
    put the words together and we have a contraction. The teacher will
    provide two examples on the board with the words (is and not) and the
    words (can and not).
    5. The teacher will introduce the book Bet You Cant and say, It is a
    contraction in the title of this book. Who can tell me which word that
    is? The teacher will walk around with the book and have the students
    point out the word and then the teacher will tell all the students to say
    it on the count of three.
    6. The teacher will say, Since you all seem so enthusiastic about this
    book, lets read it and do not forget to put your thumb up if you hear or
    see a contraction. But before reading the book, the teacher will ask
    the students if any of them have siblings. The teacher will talk about a
    time they had a competition with his/her sibling and then give the
    students an opportunity to share a story.
    7. The teacher will read the book aloud and show the students the
    illustrations on each page and give them the opportunity to pick out
    contractions.
    8. After reading the book, the teacher will show the students a list of
    common contractions and explain that you cannot just take any two
    words to form a contraction. The teacher will do (3) examples on the
    board to further explain contractions, using words from the list as

    guided practice. Then the teacher will have the students do a


    worksheet where they would cut and paste the correct contraction by
    the two words that relate to it.
    9. The teacher will hand out the Contraction song sheet and the
    students will underline the words that are contractions. The teacher
    will say, Lets play a game, does anyone want to play? Okay, youre a
    detective and your job is to find all of the contractions on this sheet
    and when you succeed at that then Ill teach you the song.
    10.
    The teacher will sing the song to the students and the students
    will stand up to join in after they figure out the rhythm of the song.
    11.
    The teacher will have students do a contraction worksheet where
    they would have to match the contractions with the two words that
    relate to it.
    12.
    The teacher will go on a contraction game so the students can
    show him what they have learned during the lesson. The teacher will
    allow each student to play the games on the smart board either in
    groups or as individuals. (optional depending on how well the students
    grasped the lesson)
    13.

    Have students return to their desk.

    14.
    Closure- The teacher will pass out sticky notes for students to
    write one thing they have learned during the lesson.
    15.
    Inform the students of the homework, their job is to write (5)
    sentences using at least one contraction in each sentence.
    Assessment:
    Formative: The teacher will walk around and observe students while they
    are doing the numerous activities and the teacher will provide additional
    assistance to any student who needs it.
    Summative: The students will form five sentences that will have at least
    one contraction in each sentence. Check the rubric to see how the
    sentences will be scored.
    Provisions for Students with Special Needs: Modifications and
    accommodations will be made according to multiple intelligences, 504 plans
    and I.E.Ps.
