Objectives (5 - 7 minutes)

1. Identifying Vowels, Consonants, and Semivowels: Students should be able to recognize and differentiate vowels, consonants, and semivowels in the alphabet and in isolated words.

2. Understanding the Function of Each in the Language: Students should understand the role played by vowels, consonants, and semivowels in the formation of syllables and words.

3. Practicing Correct Pronunciation: Students should improve their pronunciation skills through the study of vowels, consonants, and semivowels.

Secondary Objectives:

• Developing Writing and Reading Skills: Through the study of vowels, consonants, and semivowels, students will enhance their writing and reading skills.

• Encouraging Active Participation: This lesson plan aims to engage students in practical and playful activities to promote active and participatory learning.

Introduction (10 - 15 minutes)

1. Review of Previous Content: The teacher should start the lesson with a brief review of previous content related to the current topic. This may include reviewing the alphabet, the difference between consonants and vowels, and syllable formation. This step is essential to ensure that all students are on the same page before moving on to new material.

2. Problem-Solving Scenarios: The teacher should present two problem-solving scenarios that spark students' curiosity and make them reflect on the lesson topic. Examples of problem-solving scenarios may include: "Why do some letters make a long sound and others a short sound?" and "Why can some letters, like 'y' and 'w,' be considered both vowels and consonants depending on the word they are used in?"

3. Contextualization: The teacher should explain the importance of studying vowels, consonants, and semivowels, emphasizing that these elements are the basis for word formation and therefore essential for correct reading and writing. Additionally, the teacher may mention how knowledge of these elements can help students improve their pronunciation and understanding of the language.

4. Introduction to the Topic: To pique students' interest, the teacher can share some fun facts about vowels, consonants, and semivowels. For example, the teacher may mention that English is one of the few languages that uses 'y' as a vowel, and that 'w' is the only letter in English that is considered a semivowel in some words. Another curiosity could be that although English has only 5 vowels (a, e, i, o, u), there are more than 20 different vowel sounds in the language.

5. Materials Needed: The teacher should inform students of the materials needed for the lesson, which may include pencils, erasers, notebooks, and the textbook.

Development (20 - 25 minutes)

1. Classification Activity (10 - 12 minutes): The teacher should divide the class into groups of five and give each group a set of cards with letters (vowels, consonants, and semivowels). Students should work together to classify the letters into vowels, consonants, and semivowels. This activity will allow students to apply the knowledge gained in the lesson and discuss among themselves to reach a consensus on the classification of certain letters. At the end of the activity, each group should present their classifications to the class, and the teacher should provide feedback and clarify any doubts.

   1. Step-by-step:
      1. The teacher divides the class into groups and gives each group a set of cards with letters.
      2. Students, in their respective groups, classify the letters into vowels, consonants, and semivowels.
      3. Each group presents their classifications to the class.
      4. The teacher provides feedback and clarifies any doubts.

2. Word Creation Activity (5 - 7 minutes): Still in groups, students should use the classified letters to create as many words as possible. This activity will allow students to realize the importance of vowels in word formation and how consonants and semivowels assist in this process.

   1. Step-by-step:
      1. Students, in their respective groups, use the classified letters to create words.
      2. The group that can create the most words wins the activity.
      3. The teacher provides feedback and clarifies any doubts.

3. Pronunciation Activity (5 - 6 minutes): Finally, the teacher should propose a pronunciation challenge. Subsequently, the teacher will say random words, and students, still in their groups, must write the word and classify the letters (vowels, consonants, and semivowels) correctly. This activity will allow students to practice correct pronunciation and apply their knowledge of vowels, consonants, and semivowels in a practical way.

   1. Step-by-step:
      1. The teacher proposes the pronunciation challenge.
      2. The teacher says a word, and students, in their respective groups, write the word and classify the letters.
      3. The group that can write and classify the most words correctly wins the activity.
      4. The teacher provides feedback and clarifies any doubts.

Feedback (10 - 12 minutes)

1. Group Discussion (4 - 5 minutes): The teacher should gather all students and start a group discussion. Each group will have up to 3 minutes to share their conclusions and solutions found during the classification, word creation, and pronunciation challenge activities. This step is crucial for students to learn from each other and for the teacher to correct any misunderstandings that may have arisen during the activities.

   1. Step-by-step:
      1. The teacher gathers all students and starts the group discussion.
      2. Each group shares their conclusions and solutions found during the activities.
      3. The teacher corrects any misunderstandings and provides constructive feedback.

2. Connection to Theory (2 - 3 minutes): After the discussion, the teacher should make the connection between the practical activities carried out and the theory presented at the beginning of the lesson. The teacher can ask students how they applied the knowledge of vowels, consonants, and semivowels during the activities and how it helped them better understand the subject. This step is important to consolidate learning and help students realize the relevance of theory in practice.

   1. Step-by-step:
      1. The teacher makes the connection between the practical activities and the theory presented.
      2. The teacher asks students how they applied the knowledge during the activities.
      3. Students share their insights, and the teacher provides feedback.

3. Individual Reflection (2 - 3 minutes): Finally, the teacher should ask students to reflect individually on what they learned during the lesson. The teacher can ask guiding questions, such as: "What was the most important concept you learned today?" and "What questions have not been answered yet?" Students should write down their answers on a piece of paper. This step is essential for students to internalize what they learned and identify any gaps in their understanding that may need to be addressed in future lessons.
