Students’ Learning Outcomes
· Make anagrams from simple two/three syllable words.
Information for Teachers
· Anagrams:
v A word or phrase spelled by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase is called an anagram e.g. bear=bare, ode=doe, dear=read, tear=rate.
v A word, phrase, or name shaped by rearranging the letters of alternative, such as cinema, shaped from iceman. “Angel” is an anagram of “glean.”
v Anagram is a method of word play in which letters of a word or phrase are reorganized in such a way that a new word or phrase is shaped.
v An anagram is a word prepared by using letters of another word in a diverse edict.
· It’s a vocabulary building game.
· It is a crosswords puzzles game.
· Clearly explain the meanings when needed.
· While teaching the lesson, the teacher should also consult textbook at all steps where when needed.
Material / Resources
Chalk/marker, board, textbook
Worm up activity
· Point to students what they are to do.
· Give them an easy word at this point to get them motivated, such as spin (pins).
· Just for interest, tell them that if you rearrange the letters in the word Decimal Point, you can make, I am a Dot in place!
· If you rearrange the letters in Schoolmaster, you get the Classroom!
· Let them wonder over this and recheck if this is actually correct!
Development

· Observe their performance during class.
· No formal assessment is required.
· Teacher is also required to involve the student in solving the problems given in the exercise at end of unit/ chapter.
Follow up
· Ask the students to find more two syllable words which have anagrams from home.
· Ask them to write them down in their homework copies.
