This is lesson #2 in the text unit series for The Star-Spangled Banner. As the text is read aloud, students will listen for rhyming words. After hearing the text, students will be presented with word pairs from the text. They will then practice making decisions by voting “yes” or “no" to tell whether the words are rhyming pairs. Students will work together to name another word(s) that rhymes with the words from the text. Civics content is integrated as the students vote to tell if the words are rhyming pairs and work together to make a decision as they name additional rhyming words.
