Introduction
(10 minutes)- Place all ingredients on a table at the front of the room.

- Write the word "lemonade" and capital and lowercase Ls on the board.
- Show students the letter L. Point to the letters.
- Tell them the letter L sound. Elongate the sound as you say "lemonade."

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling
(10 minutes)- Write the following recipe on the board. "2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1/4 cup of sugar, and 1/2 cup of water."

Guided Practice
(20 minutes)- Assign members of each group to stir and pour the lemon juice, sugar, and water in. Ensure every student has a role.

- Support: Monitor these students as they add ingredients to see if they need any assistance.
Assessment
(5 minutes)- Ask students how they made the lemonade. Have the class go through the process step by step.
- Write student responses on the board to create a language experience story.
Review and closing
(5 minutes)- Read the language experience story with the class.
