Grade: 4
*This is a Language Arts lesson I taught during my student teaching internship.
Start by teaching what homophones are – two words that sound the same but have different meanings and are often spelt differently.
Encourage students to think of homophones that they know, discuss their responses.
Guide the students through completing the first few problems on the ‘Homophoning’ worksheet. Then have the students complete the rest of the worksheet independently.
To review different homophones (as well as practice spelling words, since their spelling words this week were homophones), give each student a white board and dry erase marker. Give the students a set of homophones, and a short definition of each. Have them write each homophone on their white board. Have the students hold their white boards in the air, and check their responses.
