Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
| My goal is to have my students become better people to the other
students in the classroom and school as well as have better behavior. |
| |
|
|
Objectives-
|
1. Students will volunteer to assist a limited-English-speaking
student with her lessons.
2. Students will participate in class meetings about student behavior.

Materials and Aids-

Paper
Pen
Document Camera |

|
Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| Introduce the lesson by having a big class meeting about student
behavior. Ask questions about what the meaning of behavior is and
what they consider to be good and bad behavior. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| After the discussion about good and bad behaviors, ask the students
to come up with ideas that will help promote good behavior in your
classroom. Don't form these into specific rules but make sure they
know that these behaviors are good things to do everyday. Using the
document camera, have the students discuss what they think good behaviors
in the classroom should be. Then post it in the classroom for everybody
to see. Next, tell the students that they will get to practice these
good behaviors by helping out another 1st grader in the class with
her lessons. |

|
C. Practice-
| The first grader is a new student who has limited English speaking
capabilities. I will talk to the students and discuss how she may
not exactly know what I am always talking about because she grew up
learning a different language. I will have the students take turns
each week to help her out with her school work. What I will have them
do is simply show the student actual models of what we are talking
about. For example, if we are talking about a chair, I will have the
student helper show the new student what "chair" is in English so
that they can better understand. |

|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| To practice what I was teaching, I will group the children into
pairs. Then, I will give each group the same object. Next, I will
act like I am teaching about that object and have one student show
the other student exactly what I am talking about. Then I will have
them switch and the other group member will show what I am talking
about. |
| |
|
|
Checking for understanding-
| I will use informal assessment to watch and see if my students understand
how to help out other students. I will also use informal assessment
to listen to the discussions about student behaviors. |
| |
|
|
Closure-
| In the end, I will have the students give me back the objects I
gave them and return to their desks. |
