6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| I have the children remain in their seats at first, and then split
them up into three groups of three or four members. Hand out the proper
papers for the assignments that go along with the story, facedown,
and then inform the children not to touch the papers until instructed
to do so. Finally I inform the children that I am going to read an
excerpt from a book for them that describes the ancient gods and goddesses
of Olympus. |

|
|
B. Development-
After I have introduced the book I would open it to the page that
starts off with Zeus. Read the book from my chosen starting point
and once finished explain the assignments. The first assignment will
be a fill in the blank question sheet where the students in their
small groups work out what each god was responsible for. After this
I inform the children that their answers can be found in the crossword
puzzle I created for them.
The second activity is a Narrative where the kids pick their favorite
god and briefly describe, on the provided paper, what they would do
if they were a Greek god. This assignment is paired with a blank piece
of paper where the children can draw a picture of themselves as one
of the Greek gods.

|
Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
| If needed the children may borrow the book that I read from in order
to help them with their questions and their story. |
| |
|
|
Checking for understanding-
| Once the children have handed in all their assignments and I have
had a chance to look over their results I could ascertain their level
of understanding with the subject matter, and touch base where improvement
might be needed. |
| |
|
|
Closure-
| After the assignment is done I would thank the children and their
primary instructor for their time and how I appreciate being welcome
into their classroom. I'd also wish them well in their future endeavors
with reading and encourage them all to continue, if they have interest,
in their research of the Greek gods at their public library. |
