Accept and except are homophones. Homophones are words that sound the same, but have different meanings. Some of these homophones are accept/except, access/excess, effect/affect. Today I will give the students the definitions of the words and show them how they are used. They will be shown two sentences. The students will then choose which homophone is used correctly. In class the students will make a sentence for effect and affect, using the words properly. For homework students will take an online quiz and print their results and bring them to the next class period. For homework students are to also bring back to class a list of 25 homophones.
Audience- 7th grade
