Introduction
"Alright students. Do you remember learning what a syllable was yesterday? Syllables are chunks of words or a part of a word that contains a single vowel sound. I want us to clap our hands to the number of syllables in each of the word above. The first word is napkin. Let's clap it: /nap(clap)/kin(clap). Since we all remember what our syllables are, today we will learn about syllable types. There are 6 types, but today we will only be learning about two types.
Title: Open and closed syllable
Grade Level: 2nd grade
Time Frame of Lesson:50 minutes
Task
Content Standard: ELA.2.b.2.B.iii
Objective: Decoding multisyllabic words with closed syllable; open syllable
Purpose: The students will be able to apply knowledge on syllables to break down and identify types of syllables a word has and identify the number of syllables in each word.
Tasks: Students will be learning about open and closed syllables; they will use this knowledge to work on two activities on syllables, with their shoulder partner. After that students will watch a video on this to review the lesson.
"Today we will be learning to break down and identify what type of syllable a word has and how many syllables each of these words contain."
Process
"Today we are going to be learning about open and closed syllables. Let's take a look at the chart. An open syllable is a syllable that ends in a vowel. Do we remember what our vowels are? Let's list them, a,e,i,o,u. An open syllable also has a vowel that is long, so when you say it, the vowel is longer. For example, let’s look at the word no. We consider this an open syllable because when we say the word we emphasize the letter o, and o is a vowel here. Another example is the word she. Let’s all say the word together. So, what letter is pronounced “longer”? Very good, the e, and in this word the e is a vowel at the end making this an open vowel.
A closed syllable on the other hand is a syllable that ends in a consonant and the vowel is short, so the sound of the vowel is said shorter. Let's turn to the next chart in front. Let’s look at the word not. When we say the vowel(“o”) in the word, it is not emphasized and is pronounced “shorter”. Also, since our vowel is closed in by a consonant(“t”) it makes this a closed syllable. Let's take a look at some words using the door example."
"Ok students, let's go over a small practice quiz together, we will all join this link to a Kahoot game with questions about open and closed syllable. This will be kind of a short review of what we just went over."

Students will work with their shoulder partner, go to the link provided below, they will then pick words from either the random wheel or the open the box game, they will write the words on their paper and decide if the words they picked have opened or closed syllable.
