This is for fourth-fifth grade social studies, which has vocabulary terms with a quizlet attached. The picture is for one of the vocabulary terms, which is "Ecosystem".
Core Lessons 1-4
This interactive lesson plan will directly correlate with Oklahoma Academic Standard for fourth grade, which is 4.4.1, that states "Analyze how humans adapt to and modify their environments in order to survive and grow.".
Students will be instructed to discuss vocabulary terms with me before we start moving forward with the chapter, this is to help guide their comprehnsion and learning throughout the chapter.
After students have completed a whole class discussion, they will be instructed to look those vocabulary terms up in their glossary or dictionary. After viewing the definition for themselves, they must copy and write the definition.
Once that task is completed, students will then use another paper to turn into me that has the students using the correct term and meaning in a full sentence.
After all of this work for vocabulary, students will then practice with Quizlet, taking a test, that is not graded, to assess if they understand the terms and taking their time to read through and comprehend, not blindly choosing answers.
