    Lesson Procedures:
    Introduction to the Vocabulary Lesson:
    To start the lesson, the teacher will read aloud, The Very Hungry Caterpillar by
    Eric Carle.
    o While reading aloud the teacher will direct the students to think about
    everything the caterpillar is eating and what happens to the caterpillar
    when he is eating.
    He would eat an item on one day and he was still hungry so he
    started to eat more.
    On Saturday he ate a lot of food and got a stomachache- What
    would you call that feeling? When you eat too much and you feel
    sick?
    The students have already learned the concept of synonyms.
    o Synonyms have the SAME meaning.
    Guided Practice:
    Brainstorm together as a class how the caterpillar felt- he was Hungry and he was
    Full.
    o Talk about what Hungry and Full means related to your stomach and the
    caterpillar. Also, mention how your stomach feelings when you are
    Hungry and how it feels when you are Full.
    Independent Practice:
    The students have lots of practice with word sorts. This is a closed sort, with the
    headings of Hungry and Full.
    There are 8 vocabulary words.
    o 4 synonyms for Hungry
    o 4 synonyms for Full
    The students are to cut out the synonyms and glue the words under their proper
    column; Hungry, Full.
    There will be 2 blank lines under each heading.
    o The students are to think of 1 synonym for Hungry and 1 for Full.
    The students must write a sentence using a correct synonym for Hungry and the
    same for Full.
    Assessment of Learning Objective:
    The students will be assessed on their completion of their word sort. The word
    sort itself is word 10 points, 1 point for the students coming up with the own
    synonym for Hungry and Full (2 points), and each sentence that properly used the
    correct synonym is worth one point, making the sentences worth 2 points; totally
    the word sort activity of 12 points.
