Session 19, Period 1

Initial Phase

Review the alphabet and how the words are spelled. Model the correct form of spelling some common words known to the students:

Computer: Teacher reads the word and pronounces it. Computer. Then the word is spelled: C-O-M-P-U-T-E-R

Ask groups to get together. Each student must select and write four words. Students should verify that the words are correct and together they should make sure of how the words are pronounced. Refer to Practice 1 How do you spell?

Ask the students to do the following tasks:

• Select 16 words
• Read and pronounce the words correctly
• Ask when in doubt
• Spell the words correctly.

Checkpoint

Walk around the groups verifying that students in the groups are doing the required activities.

Intermediate Phase

Explain what a Spelling Bee is.

A Spelling Bee is a competition where students are asked to spell words. They provide a great way for students to learn new words or review the words they have been using throughout the school year in the English Area.

Explain to your students that the competition standard can be set to suit primary or secondary school students. In addition, tell them that next year the competition may be larger and students from other classes will take part and eventually parents will come and watch the competition.

This first year explain the rules: each classroom will prepare a class Spelling Bee. Everybody will have a chance to participate and the 3 students that are the best spellers will hold the first, second and third place in the Class Spelling Bee.

Step 1: Provide a list of 25 words to be used for the competition. You might consider an overall theme or different themes for different rounds of questions. The list should include the pronunciation of each word, the definition and a sample sentence that uses the word correctly. Refer students to Practice 2.

Step 2: From this moment on all students are considered spellers competing in the Spelling Bee. Each is given a number to determine their spelling order. The numbers are given in a random order or any other form you may agree with your students.

Checkpoint

Stop and verify if the students have understood the rules of the Spelling Bee Competition so far.

Step 3: During the competition, spellers are seated in numerical order facing the pronouncer of the contest and the audience (if there is one). Motivate your principal and your own students to invite students from other grades to come and watch.

Step 4: Starting with speller number one, each speller is called in turn to the front of the group and the pronouncer reads the word they are to spell.

Step 5: The speller is given the opportunity to ask for the word to be repeated, the definition of the word and for the word to be used in a sentence. They can use the following expressions:

• ¿Can you repeat the word, please?
• ¿Can you give the definition of the word, please?
• ¿Can you give me an example of the word in a sentence, please?

Once the pronouncer responds to any of the questions the speller is asking them the speller then spells the word. Once the speller has started to spell the word, they may stop and start over from the beginning. However, there can be no changes of the letters already spelled or the order in which they were first spelled.

Checkpoint

It is important to model this process, specially steps 3 to 5, with your students. Ask if they have any questions so far.

Step 6: When the speller spells the word correctly, they can return to their seat. If they spells the word incorrectly, the pronouncer gives the correct spelling of the word and the speller then joins the audience.

A soft sound can be used to indicate the incorrect spelling of the word. If there is no sound, the speller is correct and returns to their seat. If you hear the sound, the speller is incorrect and returns to the audience. The sound is not used until the speller has finished spelling the word, whether correctly or incorrectly.

Step 7: The next speller is then called to the front and given their word to spell. Once all spellers have had a chance, the round is over and the next round begins with the remaining spellers. This procedure continues until only two spellers remain.

Step 8: The two final spellers are given words until one spells a word incorrectly.

Wrap up

Ask directly if the process is clear.

Ask students to take the words home and study them.

Session 19, Period 2

Initial Phase

Ask students if they are clear on the procedure. Model the process one more time with a volunteer.

Checkpoint

Ask in different forms to verify that students understand the procedure to participate in the Spelling Bee.

Intermediate Phase

In groups of four, students practice the words from the list and prepare themselves for the Spelling Bee, which will be held during the next period.

Checkpoint

Walk around the class verifying that the students are preparing for the competition.

Interactive resource

Take time to ask students how they feel about the competition. Ask them how ready they are. Motivate all students to participate.

Session 19, Period 3

Initial Phase

Wrap up
