English : spelling : homophones

We looked at some commonly confused homophones
by bye
write right
blew blue
sea see

We placed the words on our whiteboard and decided what kind of word
they might be - noun,verb, adjective (and 1 preposition)
We constructed definitions for each of the words to clarify their
meaning and associate the meaning with the spelling
Students constructed two sentences for each of he words to demonstrate
their grasp of the subject matter.
Those that completed went on to attempt ex 20 & 21 from learning
targets for literacy.
Extension work - write a short paragraph containing all the target words.
