 * Student Activities & Procedures

|| T**eacher Activities:** 1) Prior to class the teacher should gather the materials needed for the lesson. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">2)  <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">The teacher should create the K-W-L chart to use as a class. Questions should be thought of in advance for the discussion. The teacher also will make a sample of the art quilt activity. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">a. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Art activity: Take a piece of construction paper and the print out of squares representing 4 of the decades. Color the pictures and cut on the dotted lines. Glue a square in each corner and “The Decades” in the middle. 3) I will begin with a group discussion telling the class that we are going to cover several decades during the week. I will then go to the K-W-L chart and ask the class, “What do you know about decades?” Then I will break it down and ask if they know anything about the 50s, 70s, 90s and today. After that I will ask them what they want to learn. Finally, I will tell them what a decade is and let them know what decades they will be learning about.  4)  Then I will pass out the papers needed for the art decade’s activity with the help of the passing out paper student. I will go over the directions step by step and answer any questions the students may have. Tell the students about the pictures for the quilt and how each picture is something that was popular during that decade. I will also show the students the sample of the decades quilt they are about to make. a. Directions for Decades Quilt 1.  Color the pictures using crayons. 2.  Cut out each square, making sure that you follow the lines. 3.  Place the pictures in each corner of the construction paper and “The Decades” in the middle. Make sure that you have put the decades in order. Glue each piece onto the construction paper. 4.  Write your name on the back of your Decades Quilt. 5. Clean up your area.
 * 5) ** Next I will call on groups of students one at a time to go and sit down on the carpet. I will show them the book and read the title and author. Then I will say, “What do you think it would be like if you could travel into the future? Let’s read to find out.” Then I would start reading the book. When I am done reading, I will ask the class some questions: What did you like about the story? Who can tell me something from the story? Why did the boy travel into the future?
 * 6) ** Close the lesson, letting the students know that they will be learning more about the 50s, 70s, 90s, and now. Let’s see if we find out what we want to learn during the rest of the week.

Explain to the parents that we will be covering the decades next week and that if they have any “artifacts” that they would like to send in with their child from previous decades it would be greatly appreciated. These artifacts would enhance our discussion. This way, the students can see tangible items and feel connected with life in the past.

 * Student Activities & Procedures

|| Teacher Activities: Student Activities: 1. ** Center 1: Guided Reading ** - Here I will be with students while we do a guided reading lesson on The Cat in The Hat by Dr. Seuss. I will remind them that Dr. Seuss was a famous author in the 50s and although he wrote this book so long ago, it is still very popular in schools today. I will ask the students to make predictions on what they think the story will be about. We will read a few pages aloud, some students will whisper read, while I ask others to read individually to me. I will then stop them in the middle of the book and ask them to tell me what has happened so far, and to make a prediction about what they think is going to happen next. I will also ask them to tell me who their favorite character is. This book is important to read because it allows the student to really get a hands on experience of who they are learning about by reading a piece of their work. <span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">2. ** Center 2: Listening Center ** - Here students will see a picture of Elvis Presley and will listen to a few of his songs that were famous in the 50s. While they are listening to his songs, I will have some fun facts cards about Elvis that they will read. The question will be on the front and the answer will be on the back. The fun facts include : 1.Q : At what time was Elvis born? A:Elvis Aron Presley was on Jan.8,1935 at 4:35am just 35min after his twin brother was born 2. 2. Q: Where was Elvis Born? A**:** Tupelo, Mississippi. He and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee in 1948. 3. Q: Did Elvis have any pets? A: Yes, a Chimpanzee! 4. Q: What was Elvis' favorite fried sandwich? A: fried peanut butter and banana sandwich. This sandwich is made just like a grilled cheese sandwich. <span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">3. ** Center 3: Creative Movement Center ** - Here students will listen to songs from the 50s and will learn the dance moves that used to be done at sock-hops. They will learn how to do the Bunny Hop by dancing to “The Bunny Hop” by Ray Anthony. They will also learn how to do the Hand Jive and will dance to “Willie and the Hand Jive” by Johnny Otis. I will have a teacher’s aide to help the students learn the dance moves at this center. <span style="font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 10.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">4. ** Center 4: Art Center ** - Here students will make their own versions of the art form by the famous artist of the 50s, Jackson Pollock. Students will take paint and basically make splotches on the paper with the different colors and it will create an abstract look, very similar to some of the works of art that Jackson Pollock made. 5. After the students have finished at their centers. We will get back together and recap what we have learned. I will once again point to the pictures of the famous people on the board and will ask students what they can tell me about these people. At this time I will also have students take out their “Famous Faces Fact Book” I will ask them to write about one famous person that they particularly liked today, and write their favorite fact about them as well as draw a picture beside it. 6. I will then tell them that tomorrow we will learn all about the 1960s! And that they can go home and ask their parents or grandparents if they remember anything or having anything from the 1950s or 1960s and they can come back tomorrow and share what they learned. I will also give them a piece of candy that was popular in the 50s, which was Smarties. || <span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 9pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">
 * 1)  I will be dressed up in a poodle skirt and collar shirt to display how people in the 50s dressed, I will also have “Rock around the Clock” by Bill Haley and the Comets playing in the background.
 * 2) I will begin by posting pictures on the whiteboard of different famous people of the 1950s and ask the students if they have any idea who these people are. The people posted are Walt Disney, Rosa Parks, Jackson Pollock, Elvis Presley, Harry S. Truman, and Dr. Seuss. I will give the students time to answer. Once they have answered, I will explain that these are all important famous people of the 1950s and that we are going to learn all about the decade of the 50s today.
 * 3) I will then take each picture one at a time and explain to them why each one is important. I will tell who they are, and what they did during the 1950s. I will explain that Walt Disney was created Mickey Mouse and Disney World and that Rosa Parks refused to sit in the back of the bus in 1955 and started the bus boycott for blacks on Dec 5th, and this launched the civil rights movement in the U.S. I will talk about Jackson Pollock and explain how he was a famous artist who used an abstract form of art. I will also explain how Elvis Presley was a famous singer and Im sure they will recognize some of the songs in the listening centers. I will also explain how Dr.Seuss was a famous author and his real name was Theodore Seuss Geisel. I will tell them that Harry S. Truman was the president during the 1950s. I will also explain to the students that they will be going into centers soon and in those centers they will learn more about some of these people and get to have a hands on experience with what they were famous for.
 * 4) I will explain that the 1950s happened 60 years ago and is very different from today. They music that they listened to, they television that they watched and the way they danced was much different. Things were simpler back then and people loved to have fun and dance. I will explain to them one popular place to dance was a sock-hop. It was called a sock-hop because it was usually held in a gymnasium at a school and dancers had to remove their shoes and dance in their socks so they wouldn’t ruin the floor. You will be learning how to do some of the dance moves they did in your creative movement center.
 * 5) I will then show them a clip of tv shows and commercials in the 50s and explain to them that people did not have color tvs back then, and that tv was very different back then.
 * 6) I will then get the students organized in their centers and will explain what each center is to them.

The ESOL students can sit at the very front so they can see the pictures better. We will list on the board the things that we know about these famous people so it will be more organized for the ESOL student to see. The students will work together in groups in their centers and the ESOL students can have a buddy to help them along the way. We are using music and dance to learn about this unit which is a good way for ESOL students to learn. We are also using art which is a good way for ESOL students to learn as well. During the guided reading I will have the ESOL students read to me individually. Gifted/Talented: The gifted students can help the other students with the dance moves, if they are not getting it in the creative movement center. The gifted students can also be a buddy for the ESOL students if they are having trouble with anything. If the gifted students finish with their centers early, I will have a set of books from the 1950s that they can choose to read, or biographies about the famous people from the 1950s. The gifted students can also list more than one famous person in their “Famous Faces Fact Book” and write more than one fact in their book. <span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> || ||

 * Student Activities & Procedures

|| ** Teacher Activities: ** 1) Ensure that all centers are prepared and have all necessary supplies and instructions prior to beginning instruction. 2)  I will begin with a group discussion on what we have learned so far about the decades we have discussed. I will ask the following questions: a. “What is the most interesting thing they have learned so far about different decades?” b.  Tell me something you think may have been different from the 70’s than today.” c.  “What do you want to learn about the 70’s?” (This discussion is similar to a KWL, only orally) 3) Hook: I would be dressed in 70’s attire and I would talk and act with mannerisms from the 70’s.   4)  I will explain to the children that they will be rotating between three centers where they will be learning information on the 1970’s. Each center will be fifteen minutes and I will briefly explain what they will be doing in each center. Also I will explain that during the centers I will be pulling groups out for guided reading. ** Student Activities: ** Center 1 __ : Writing Center 1) Students will be given pictures of different things in life in the 1970’s.   2)  Using these pictures, students will get an idea of what life was like in the 1970’s. They will use this to write a letter to a friend as if they were living in the 1970s. They will describe what life was like for them.

__ Center 2: __ Art 1) Students will make their own disco balls. 2)  They will be given a Styrofoam ball along with pins and sequins. They will start by gluing the stings to the top in order to hang their disco ball. Then the students will us the pins to attach the sequins around the ball. __ Center 3: __ Technology 1) Students will complete a scavenger hunt on the computer that is already set up for them. 2)  The worksheet will have questions along with a link that will provide a web site that has the answer on it. 3) Students will have the opportunity to explore websites with information and pictures from the 1970’s. They will learn about fashion, television, music, science, popular fads, literature and more.

Center 4: Guided Reading 1) Students will read a passage written about Billie Jean King and learn about sports.   2)  After reading, students will discuss facts they have learned about Billie Jean King. 3) They will then take out their “Facts on Famous Faces” book and add their page on Billie Jean King. They will write their favorite fact they learned and if time allows they will draw a picture to go with it.

 * Student Activities & Procedures

|| T**eacher Activities:** 1) Prior to class the teacher should create the “slime”. Since the centers are short, and this can get messy it is better in this particular case to pre-make the slime and let the children play with it. Be sure to make enough so that each child can have a baggie of their own slime. To make the slime: <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">a.  <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Pour 1cup cornstarch into a sandwich bag, and slowly add about 1/4 cup water mixed with a few drops of green food coloring. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">b.  <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Carefully press the excess air out of the sandwich bag and seal it shut. c. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Knead the sandwich bag until the mixture is well blended and smooth. Make sure not to puncture the bag! <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">*You could also adjust the recipe and make all of the slime in a large container and then separate it into the separate baggies. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">2) <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">The Famous Faces Fact Book should be prepared before the lesson and handed out to each child. To make the book: <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">a.  <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Take a brown paper sandwich bag and fold it in half (top to bottom) <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">b.  <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Cut a small slit at the crease of the bag, on both sides. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">c. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Glue the die-cut to the front of the book. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">d. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Cut notebook paper to size <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">e. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Bind the book with a small hair tie <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; msobidifontsize: 13.0pt; msobidilanguage: #0400; msolist: Ignore;">3) <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 13.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Ensure that all centers are prepared and have all necessary supplies and instructions prior to beginning instruction. 4)  I will begin with a group discussion on what we have learned so far about the decades we have discussed. I will ask the following questions: a. “What is the most interesting thing you have learned so far about different decades?” b.  Tell me something you think may have been different from the 90’s than today.” c.  “What do you want to learn about the 90’s?” (This discussion is similar to a KWL, only orally) 5) Hook: I will show the class the “slime” that I have created for one of the centers. I will ask the students “What do you think this might be and how it might relate to the 90’s?” This will get the students excited about going to that center and learning more about what the substance is and why it is relevant to the 90’s. ** 6)  ** I will explain to the children that they will be rotating between three centers where they will be learning information on the 1990’s. I will walk to each center and briefly explain to the whole class what they will be doing in each center. Each center will be fifteen minutes and I will instruct the students when it is time to clean up and when it is time to switch.

They will write their favorite fact they learned and if time allows they will draw a picture to go with it. <span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400;"> __ Center 2: __ Listening/Art 1)  Students will use the headsets provided to listen to the song Mmm Bop by Hanson, a popular song from the 90’s. 2) During and after the listening they will decorate a [|blank CD] representing music they like or listen to today. 3)  While coloring, students should discuss how the music they listen to today varies or is similar to the music they heard from of the 90’s. __ Center 3: __ Technology/Hands On 1) Students will watch a [|power point] and video telling them all about Nickelodeon Studios. 2)  The power point will include videos where people are getting slimed on popular games shows that aired on Nickelodeon in the 90’s. 3) After watching the power point and videos, students will move to a table close by and receive their baggie of slime, put hand sanitizer on, and feel the slime that has been pre-made by the teacher. 4)  After feeling the slime the students should again use hand sanitizer or wash their hands and put their baggie away so that is does not distract them from the other centers. 5) If time allows, students should discuss how Nickelodeon is different today than it was in the 90’s.

Explain to parents that we will be covering the decades next week and that if they have any “artifacts” that they would like to send in with their child from previous decades it would be greatly appreciated and would enhance our discussion. This way, the students can see tangible items and feel connected with life in the past.

Doug’s character journals at the beginning of every episode begging with “Dear Journal, it’s Me, Doug. I would have the student’s journal and begin their writing in the same way, using their own name. <span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">2)  <span style="font-family: 'Times','serif'; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: #0400;">Instead of giving students their own baggie of slime, there could be one container that all the students could feel.

 * Student Activities & Procedures

|| ** Teacher Activities: ** 1) Ensure that all centers are prepared and have all necessary supplies and instructions prior to beginning instruction. 2)  I will begin with a group discussion on what we have learned so far about the decades we have discussed. I will ask the following questions: a. “What kind of differences do you see between your lives now, and when your parents were your age?” b. “What kinds of things have stayed the same over time and now?” c.  “If you could know something about the future decades, what would you like to know? (This discussion is similar to a KWL, only orally) 3) I will make the connection between technologies by describing a computer the way people decades ago would have. This clearly compares life now with life in the past.   a.  “Imagine something that could work at the speed of light and answer any question you could ever ask in the world.” b.  “Imagine that you could take something extremely large and just tuck it away in a very small space.” c.  “Years ago, people would say this idea was crazy and impossible.” d.  “What does this tell you about where technology will be in the future?” 4)  I will explain to the children that they will be rotating between three centers where they will be learning information on present day, and the future. Each center will be fifteen minutes and I will briefly explain what they will be doing in each center. I will make sure that the students are aware that their work will be going in their Time Capsule.

** Student Activities: ** Center 1 : Guided Reading/Famous People 1) Students will participate in a guided reading group with the teacher. They will read <span style="color: #647b5a; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 16pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana;"> //<span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope //<span style="font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> by Nikki Grimes  2)  Students will discuss in their guided reading group what they have learned about Barack Obama. 3) They will then take out their “Facts on Famous Faces” book and add their page on Barack Obama. They will write their favorite fact they learned and if time allows they will draw a picture to go with it. This identifies people from the past who have made an impact.

__ Center 2: __ Writing/Art 1) Students will write a letter to themselves about what their lives are like now, and where they would like to be in the future. (include goals and plans) 2)  Students will include what they would like students in the future to know about their lives today. 3) Students will draw pictures illustrating what events their letter describes.   4)  This gives students the chance to write out their plans sequentially and also share compositions and write a letter.

__ Center 3: __ Technology/Hands On 1) Students will have the opportunity to play educational games on the computer linking to present day Social Studies. 2)  The game will get the students thinking about how the world has changed throughout the decades. 3) The students will be given the chance at the end of centers to discuss what they’ve learned as an inquiry lesson. These activities compare life now to life in the past.
