1 LESSON PLAN GRADE 2-4 The Book of Nonsense Volume-3 LESSON TITLE: Finding Synonyms for Limericks LESSON OBJECTIVE: The students will find synonyms and count syllables for new word choices for limerick poetry. MATERIALS: *The Book of Nonsense Volume-3 (both Streaming and You Read Versions) *Printable Limericks from Volume 1 & 2 (for teachers reference during Guided Practice) *Printable Limericks & Synonyms Activity Sheet (one for each student) *Thesaurus LESSON PLAN 1. ENGAGE: Students will view Streaming version The Book of Nonsense Volume Next, the teacher will play the You Read version of The Book of Nonsense Vlolume-3 and lead the whole class in clapping the syllables in each line of the limericks. Note: Edward Lear occasionally took poetic liberty in adhering to the syllable pattern. Praise students who recognize when Lear deviated from the limerick rules. 3. TEACH: Review the structural of limericks; five lines, AABBA rhyming pattern, (9, 9, 6, 6, 9) or (8, 8, 5, 5, 8) syllable pattern 4. Explain that a synonym is a word that has the same meaning as another word. Explain that sometimes writers have trouble thinking of just the right word they want to use, so they use a thesaurus to help them select the best word. 5. Explain that synonyms are important because they can help us make better word choices by substituting a plain or uninteresting word for a more interesting word that means the same thing. 6. Model how to use a thesaurus to find synonyms for a word. 7. GUIDED PRACTICE: Write the limericks from Volume 1 or 2 on the board. Underline several words in each limerick and ask the students to use the thesaurus to find synonyms to replace the underlined words. 8. Extra Challenge, ask students to try to find synonyms that have the syllable count as the original word.
2 9. Call on students to come up to the board to write a synonym above the original word. Ask students to clap the syllables to see if they kept the same syllable count. Note: Sometimes students will not be able to keep the same syllable count when substituting a word for a synonym, as Edward Lear did on occasion. Tell students that for this lesson that will be okay as long as they use the thesaurus to find a more interesting word choice. 10. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE: Hand out the Printable Limericks & Synonyms Activity Sheet to each student. Students will use the thesaurus to find synonyms for all of underlined words on the activity sheet and write the new word in the space provided. 11. ASSESSMENT/CLOSURE: Observe students correctly using the thesaurus to find synonyms. Let the students read their revised limericks with synonyms to the class. Collect the Limericks & Synonyms Activity Sheet and grade based on completion, neatness, good choice of synonyms, and using the thesaurus.
3 Teacher s Reference Printable For the Guided Practice Portion of the Synonyms Lesson Limericks from Volume 1 & 2 An Old Man with a Beard There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, It s just as I feared!
