TEACHING STAGES
Review:
The teacher revisits the previous lesson (Letter C), asking students about the sound and examples of objects starting with C. This reinforces prior knowledge and creates a connection to the new lesson.
Motivation:
The lesson begins with a circus-themed activity called the "Diamond Circus" to capture students' interest. A puppet character, Mr. Tiger, is introduced to engage students. The rules of the "circus," like keeping tickets safe and following "Circus Clap" instructions, are explained to build excitement and encourage participation.
Presentation:
The teacher introduces the letter D using visuals, songs, and demonstrations. Students learn to write uppercase and lowercase D and practice its sound with a simple song:
"The D says duh, the D says duh, every letter makes a sound, and D says duh."
The teacher also introduces syllables formed with D and vowels.
Discussion:
The students engage in identifying objects that start with the letter D during a "magic show" game. They guess items hidden in a magic hat and discuss their names and sounds.
Generalization:
The teacher summarizes the lesson by asking students to recall the letter's sound and examples of objects beginning with D. This reinforces their learning and ensures understanding.
Fixing Skills:
Students participate in a craft activity, decorating a letter D-shaped Christmas lantern (parol) using batik designs. This integrates cultural elements and fine motor skill development.
Evaluation:
Students are assessed based on their ability to identify objects starting with D, produce its sound, and correctly write the letter. Homework is assigned, asking them to find and draw objects beginning with D in their surroundings.
