Identify Evidence: (What will you collect or record as
data to demonstrate students have met your objective(s)
and skill?)
I will record if students are understanding the concept of
rhyming. Throughout the video, students are to “freeze”
when it says words that don’t rhyme. I will record what
students are understanding the concept of rhyming, and
making sure that students are following the directions given.
Program Monitoring: (How will you aggregate or
compile your evidence into a class or group view?)
We will be completing this activity as a whole group, so
every student will be able to learn from one another as we
do the movement rhyming activity.
Differentiation:
There are kids aged 3-5 in the classroom, so I made sure
that the video I found was for the younger aged group so
that they can participate as much as the older kids,
understanding what we are doing.
Academic Language:
- Exercise
- Rhyme
Procedural steps:
1. Gather students on the carpet where circle time takes
place
2. Talk with students about what we will be doing, talk
about prior knowledge on exercising and thyming.
Ask students…
- What do you know about exercising?
- How does exercising keep our body healthy?
- What type of exercise do you do?
- What does it mean to rhyme?
- What are examples of rhyming words that
you know?
3. Talk to them about the video and explain what we will
be doing
- The video will tell us to do a certain exercise
and while doing it, they will give us words and
if they don’t rhyme, we freeze and stop
exercising. If they rhyme, we continue with
the exercise
4. Start the video and complete the entirety of the video
- keep track of words that kids get incorrect
5. Once the video is over, go over what we just did and
ask students how they did
6. Review the ones that students most struggled with.

Authentic Materials: (Describe authentic real-life, hands-on

materials.)
- Ipad (video)

Adult Roles:
My role as the teacher is to explain and present the lesson. I
am to give clear instructions so that students know what is
expected of them. I need to make sure that students
understand the importance of exercising, and the concept of
rhyming. I will be doing the video/activity with the students so
that if they need help, they can look at me. I am to review the
struggles that students had during the video and explain to
them why something rhymes or why it doesn’t. My role is to
make sure students are having fun while exercising and
working on an important concept (rhyming).
