In this one-time class, learners will play a fun 29 question Kahoot! Learners will be given two to three choices to choose the correct homophone to fill in the blank in each sentence. Learners will have up to 1 minute to answer each question. After each question we will discuss the correct answer. This game is easiest played with 2 devices: one for zoom and one for Kahoot! You do not need a login for Kahoot!, you just need to enter the pin that I will give you at the beginning of class. There is a Kahoot! app for phones and tablets or you can open www.Kahoot.it on your web browser. If you are using a laptop you can use a split screen instead of a second device, but this can be difficult for some learners so a second device is preferred. You do not need a login for Kahoot!, you just need to enter the pin that I will give you at the beginning of class. There is a Kahoot! app for phones and tablets or you can log into www.Kahoot.it. **Parents, please refrain from helping your child select the correct answers to make this fair to all students.
Learning Goals
Learners will correctly identify homophones by using context clues to fill in the blank in a sentence.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.4.1.G: Correctly use frequently confused words (e.g., to, too, two; there, their).
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.3.4.A: Use sentence-level context as a clue to the meaning of a word or phrase.
CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.L.5.5.C: Use the relationship between particular words (e.g., synonyms, antonyms, homographs) to better understand each of the words.
