Monday Unit 21 Lesson 1: Final Magic E

Project Read April 8-12

Monday--- Unit 21 Lesson 1: Final Magic e

Teacher will display the word he with the straight diacritical mark for the long vowel above the vowel and ask why is that mark above the vowel? The vowel represents the long vowel sound. Why does the vowel represent the long vowel sound? A single vowel ends the word.

In this lesson you will study a second condition that causes a long vowel sound. It is the final magic e.

Teacher will display the final silent magic e, page 21-3. The final silent magic e hangs around at the end of words. Show with the word cake, drawing a line through the e and making magic marks around the e.

The magic e never says a word. That is why it has a silent line across it.

The magic e performs its magic by jumping over one consonant and through its magic power making the vowel say its long sound.

Remember: The magic e can only jump over one consonant sound. Examples: cake, make

Teacher recites the following poem with body language and then students will do so:

Magic e

I’m the magic e (pretend to hold up magic wand)

I hang around at the ends of words (draw dash – in the air)

And never make a peep. (put finger across mouth)

But oh the magic I perform, (draw imaginary sparkles in air)

When over one consonant I leap (hold up one finger and leap in the air)

To make the long vowel speak. (draw long line------)
