LC: To spell and use homophones in the correct context.
👉 Homophones are words that sound the same but have different meanings and spellings.
🧩 Starter: Spot the Mistake!
- I walked down the isle in the supermarket.
- She allowed her voice so everyone could hear.
- He past me the ball.
📚 Main Activity:
Here are the homophones we will be looking at today:
- isle / aisle
- aloud / allowed
- affect / effect
- herd / heard
- past / passed
- led / lead
- steel / steal
- altar / alter
- assent / ascent
Strategy:
In pairs, you will:
- Give a simple definition
- Use in a sentence
- Highlight a memory trick (e.g. aisle has an “a” like “at the shop aisle”)
Example:
- allowed = permitted → “You are allowed to go outside.”
- aloud = out loud → “Read the sentence aloud.”
