Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan: Project One

Theme: Earth Day

Grade: First grade 

Lesson plan topic: Learning how take care of our environment

Lesson Objectives: Students will be able to separate plastic, paper, and cans and place them into their correct bin.

Instructional Technique:  Individual Activity

Instructional Materials: Computers, handouts for the website (how to get there), handout for evaluation, pencil. http://more2.starfall.com/n/holiday/earthday/load.htm?f&n=main

Theoretical Perspective: This is important because we need to keep our environment clean and have it a clean and safe place for humans and animals.

Procedure: As a teacher we will have our class website, and the students will click on the bookmark that will take them to the website link.

Introductory Activity:As an introductory activity we will start this topic off with reading a book about Earth Day, to get the children aware of this activity.

Step-by-step:
Step one: Read introductory book.

Step two: Pass out worksheet.

Step three: Grab computers.

Step four: Go to class website- click on the “Everyday is Earth day”.

Step five: Have the children follow the directions that the website provides. The students will read the introduction and then complete the activity.

Step six: Once they are on the activity make sure they are placing the recyclables into the place they think is correct.

Step seven: Make sure they are filling out the handout that we provided.

Closure: After each student completed the worksheet, collect them.

Adaptations for different learners: If needed the teachers will read aloud the instructions, and go over what needs to be done before class is over.

Homework: None

Evaluation:We will evaluate by checking the worksheet the students completed during the activity and tally how many attempts out of the three possible bins, they needed to get it right. The main concern for this lesson is that the students will eventually figure out which material needs to go into which bin through process of elimination.
