Oh, Korea

Today, I planned a standard lesson for my after-school class out of the textbook, doing nothing but writing and reading. At the last minute, I ditched this lesson plan in favor of a review lesson from last week. Last week, we studied rhymes and how to make them.

The review lesson consisted of reading a couple Shel Silverstein poems together, cutting out words from a list, coloring them to match their rhyme (i.e. "shoe-glue" would receive one color) and then gluing them in the appropriate place on a worksheet.

Surprisingly, my students hated it and were begging for the textbook by the end of the activity. Who knew?
