Day Two: The students illustrate some of their homophone pairs. These illustrations will be compiled to create a Homophone Book that the children can repeatedly refer to later in the year. Click for Video
Day Three: Students work in pairs to match the homophones with their correct definitions. This sorting activity is monitored and assessed by the teacher. Click for Video
