Part 3:

As a speech therapist, I work with several children who have different goals. I try to group children together based on their grades and goals, however this does not always work out and I end up with groups of students with very different goals. I thought it would be a good idea to ask Chat GPT to make me a lesson plan to incorporate each Childs goal into one activity. I had to be very specific when asking to create a lesson plan, such as stating what grade the children were in, and what their specific goals were. Chat GPT gave me the following results:

Activity for a 30-Minute Mixed 2nd Grade Speech Therapy Group

Focus Areas:

• Articulation of /r/
• Answering WH questions
• Categorization skills

Activity: “Rangers on a Quest!”

Theme: A fun adventure where students play as rangers going on a quest to rescue a treasure. Each task involves their individual goals.

Materials Needed:

1. Ranger hats (real or paper cutouts for fun engagement, optional)
2. Picture cards with items/words targeting /r/ sounds
3. WH question cards related to the story or treasure items
4. Categorization cards or small toy objects (e.g., animals, food, vehicles)
5. A map or visual path with steps (laminated path with spaces for the tasks)
6. Stickers or small prizes as rewards

Session Plan (30 Minutes):

1. Introduction (3-5 minutes): “Becoming Rangers”

• Explain that everyone is a ranger going on a treasure rescue quest. To move through the map, they must complete tasks.
• Encourage group engagement by letting each student pick a ranger name (e.g., Ruby Ranger, Rocky Ranger).

2. Activity Stations (20 minutes):Station 1: Articulation Task (5 minutes)

• Objective: Practice /r/ sounds in words or sentences.
• Setup: Cards with /r/ target words (e.g., rope, ring, river, rescue).
• Activity:
  • Each student picks a card and says the word 3 times.
  • Use a sentence level for advanced students (e.g., “The ranger climbed the rocky hill”).
  • If they say it correctly, they move forward on the map.

Station 2: WH Questions (7 minutes)

• Objective: Answer WH questions related to the quest.
• Setup: Pre-made WH question cards.
• Activity:
  • Ask questions tied to the quest (e.g., Who is trapped in the cave? Where should we look for the treasure?).
  • For each correct answer, they earn a clue to the next part of the map.
  • Example questions:
    • What do rangers carry to climb mountains? (Answer: Rope)
    • Why do we need a map?

Station 3: Categorization Task (8 minutes)

• Objective: Sort objects into categories.
• Setup: A small box of items or cards (e.g., animals, food, tools).
• Activity:
  • Students take turns sorting items into the correct category.
  • To make it fun, phrase the task as helping organize their ranger backpack for the journey (e.g., “Put all the food items in the pack!”).

3. Wrap-Up & Treasure Reveal (5 minutes)

• Once all tasks are complete, reveal the "treasure" (e.g., stickers, small toys, or a group cheer).
• Review key skills:
  • What sound did we practice?
  • What WH questions did you answer?
  • What categories did we sort?
• Celebrate their success as “Top Rangers!”

Differentiation Options:

• For students needing more support:
  • Provide visuals for WH questions and categorization.
  • Model /r/ production before their turn.
• For advanced students:
  • Use harder WH questions or ask them to create their own categories.

This activity keeps the group engaged while addressing individual goals in a collaborative, fun way.


I thought that this was a very interesting lesson, it allows students to work collaboratively on each of their goals! I also enjoyed how Chat GPT gave me differentiation options to complete the activity. Overall I enjoyed using this to create a lesson plan!
