5. Materials and Aids-
|
1. The lesson will require sheets of paper for each student (precut
4 1/2ft), markers, and crayons.
2. A copy of the body parts vocabulary (one copy per pair of students)
3. A audio recording of the Song, "Hokey Pokey", Silver, Burdett &
Ginn Inc., 1989.
The Papers will be precut to 4 1/2 ft. in height for students to lay
out on floor and be able to trace each other on the paper. A sample
will be displayed so students can see the outcome of the outline and
be able to identify each body part. |

6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
The lesson will start by using the song "Hokey Pokey" by letting
the students demonstrate what body parts they already know. The beginning
of the lesson will be fun and will allow the students to interact
with each other.

B. Development-
1. Start the lesson by playing the "Hokey Pokey" song, while demonstrating
the motions to the song and ask the students to participate. Afterwards
ask the students to name the body parts they heard in the song, and
list the body parts they heard on a body parts vocabulary sheet.
2. Introduce the my same of the outline of the body. Ask the students
to help you label the outline with the body parts they heard from
the song. Ask students to tell you what body parts are still missing
on the body outline. As students generate missing body parts, write
the word on the Body Parts vocabulary chart and then on the body outline. |

C. Practice-
1. Place children in groups of two. Inform students that they are
going to make their own life-size body outline with 20 body parts
drawn and labeled.
2. Pass out a large sheet of paper, and ask each child to lie down
on the paper while his/her partner traces the outline of their body.
Afterwards each students cuts out the outline of their body. From
this point on the students will work individually after the tracing
is complete. |

|
Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
For students who are behind, a partner may help them with labeling
the body parts. This will promote learning while both of the students
improve social skills.

|
|
Checking for understanding-
1. Display each outline for each student to observe, and ask the
students to write in a journal about a body part that they have two
of. Ask them to write an example of a body part, and what they do
each day with that body part. Also give example of a body part. (Hand:
eating, writing, and scratching)
2. While students are writing in their journals, the teacher checks
the outlines and gives corrective and positive feedback. |

Closure-
| Sing the "Hokey Pokey" song as a group one more time. |
