Investigative Question or Issue: Practice your speech sounds using words related to where we live.

Challenge:
 
Create a take home articulation practice book using vocabulary related to the Adirondacks.  

1.  Look through the picture cards.  
2.  Say the name of each picture outloud.  Determine if your target sound is in that word, i.e. look for /l/ sound.   If your target sound is in the word, save that card.  If not, continue on with the remaining cards.  The target sound can be in the beginning, middle, or end of the word.  i.e. /l/ is in the word loon.
3.  Once you have sorted out the cards with your speech sound, divide them into three groups.
     Sound at the beginning of the word, i.e. loon  
     Sound in the middle of the word, i.e.  duckling
     Sound at the end of the word,i.e. owl.
4.  Choose five cards from each group so that you have 15 cards total (5 with the sound at the beginning of the word, 5 in the middle, and 5 at the end).
5.  Get 15 index cards and some glue.  Glue one picture card on an index card.
6.  On the opposite side, write the name of the card, i.e.  loon
7.  Next create and write a phrase using that word, i.e. a loon cry.
8.  Finally, using the  phrase, create a complete sentence, i.e. I heard a loon cry.  
9.  Take the book home to use for practice with your target speech sound.   
10.  For an extra challenge, create a story using the target words chosen.  You may illustrate it.
