picture aids. Students will be able to look at the pictures, describe what they see and

locate where the object/place in the picture is found around their school.

H.3.1.1 I can give details about the neighborhood that surrounds myschool.

E. Procedure: (numbered steps)1. TW have students think about their car ride/bus ride/bicycle ride or walk to school.

What do you see around the school?

2. TW have students think about specific places or objects they see around the school.(ex. Church, playground in the community across the street, houses.)

3. TW give students time to brainstorm with their table groups to compare answers.4. TW walk around class listening to student discussion and asking groups to be more

specific in their thoughts (ex. What kind of houses do we see? Are they large, two-story

houses? Or small, one-story homes? Or apartments?)

5. TW present pictures on the ELMO of a place that is within mile of the school (ex.Church.) TW ask, How many of us see this on our way to school? What do we think this

building is and where is it? (Teacher can accept answers such as, It is a Church. It is

next to the park that is outside of the apartment complex by the fire station.) Paste

the picture in its corresponding location relative to the school on the butcher paper.

6. TW go through the rest of the pictures repeating step 5 and pasting the pictures in theircorresponding location on the butcher paper.

7. Once all pictures are posted, explain that we just made a map of the schoolsneighborhood, or a surrounding or nearby region.

8. CLOSURE: Today we learned about the different places around our school, or ourschools neighborhood. SW stand up, hand up and pair up and will each have a

chance to tell their partner about one place in the neighborhood they learned about

today.

F. Assessment: (bullet points) What will you use to measure student understanding?

I will use the student discussions and class participation to measure student

understanding.

Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.I will be walking around the room during discussions and during the paired activity for

the closure to listen in to discussions.

G. Reflection: (answers to assignment specific questions)1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?

I think this whole lesson is straightforward and I dont think I would run into anydifficulties.

2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?If I had to pick a challenging part, I think it might be teaching students the concept

of neighborhood and explaining that a few of us take different routes to school, so

something I see may not be something that little Susan sees when she is on her way

to school.

3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?I would really like to have students write about a trip around the neighborhood with

the school being the starting point. For example, After school, I really wanted to

visit the playground. It is in between the firehouse and the Church. After that, I

wanted to eat some ice cream, so I headed down the street past the pet store to

get to Baskin Robins.

4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?When the students are discussing what they see on their way to school and during

the end when they are working with a partner, I will be asking different questions to

try to help those students who may be struggling to get to a basic level of

understanding.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?I would keep this lesson as is and do not anticipate making any changes.

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?I think the most difficult part was starting the lesson plan and brainstorming ways

that I could get what I had in my mind onto paper.
