Theme 3 Lesson 15 Day 1

• Genre- Poetry

What’s it called?

“A Good Play”What’s the purpose of reading

poetry?To enjoy it!

As I read, listen for what the characters are doing.

T299

A Good PlayWe built a ship upon the stairsAll made of the back-bedroom chairs.And filled it full of soft pillowsTo go a-sailing on the billows.

We took a saw and several nails,And water in the nursery pails;And Tom said, ”Let us also takeAn apple and a slice of cake,”---Which was enough for Tom and meTo go a-sailing on, till tea.

We sailed along for days and days,And had the very best of plays;But Tom fell out and hurt his knee,So there was no one left but me.

T383 Transparency R71

1. What do the characters do together in this poem?

2. Why do you think the author uses the word “a-sailing” rather than “sailing”?

continues playing? Why or why not?

C-le SyllableRead the following words

bundle little fiddle

What sound do you hear at the end of each word?

The -le sound stand for /әl/ sound. The –le and the consonant before it form a syllable.

Here is how you would divide these words into syllables:

bun-dle lit-tle fid-dle

Whenever there are two consonants before the –le the vowel sound in the first syllable is short.

T384 Review

C-le Syllable

table

maple

beagle

needle

The –le combines with the consonant before it to make a syllable. Write the words in your notebook. Let’s divide these words into syllables together.

When you are finished read the words and decide if the first syllable has a

long or short sound.

All of these words have the long vowel sound.

Let’s look and divide these words into

syllables.

Does the first syllable have a long or short

vowel sound?

apple

eagle

staple

purple

ap-pleshort

ea-glelong

Now you divide these words into syllables.

Does the first syllable have a long or short

vowel sound?

Comprehension Review: Identifying Plot

T 398 Teach/Model

Remember that an important part of a story is the plot.

In many stories, things happen because the characters have a

problem. The sequence of events that help them solve that problem is

the story’s plot.

Open your reading books to pg. 324-325.

As I read think about what is happening in the story. Think about

important events.

T 398 Teach/Model

What was one of the important events?The boy cries “wolf” so people will come, but there is no

wolf.

He has a problem and cries “wolf” but nobody believes him.

What is another important event that happens at the end of

the story?
