| Presentation Set: (_10 min) Gather students to the back of the room. Ask them if they have ever heard of a tradition? A tradition is something people do routinely, overtime again and again. It is like when we celebrate when you have moved into Discovery Cards, which is a tradition this class has. Can you think of any other traditions, which you might have at home? What about when you loose your teeth. Does your family have a tradition for when you do that? When I lost my teeth the tooth fairy would come and leave me 50 cents under my pillow. Introduce book In this book we can find many different traditions for what people do when they loose their teeth all around the world. We are going to talk about some of these. Read introduction of book “Has this ever happened to you?” Read some traditions, not all the book is too long and many repeat. Discuss with the students what they think of these traditions. Are they interesting? How do you think your tradition may look in other countries? | Classroom Management Strategies Give me five! – 1-2-3-4-5 Look – Listen - Learn Ensure all students are listening before explaining the task. | ||
| Development: (15 min) Have students return to their desks, one row at a time. Quietly. Introduce topic to write about in journal. Write instructions on the board.
Students we will be writing about our own traditions. What I want you to do first, is to put your name at the top. Then we will write about what you do with your teeth when you loose them. You might not do anything at all. Or you might put it in a special place for a tooth fairy to find. I want you to write about how you, not your neighbor or friend, but what you do with your teeth when you loose them. If you have not lost a tooth yet, you can write about what tradition you would most like to follow. Is it throwing your tooth on the roof, or in a mouse hole? You decide. Then boys and girls I want you to draw a very detailed picture of your tradition. I don’t want just a picture of a tooth, but of what you do with it, put in a background and colour. Confirm students understand what they are to do. When you are done students please get some other work out that needs to be completed and I will come around to check your journals. Hand out journals, first person of every row. Closure: (5 min) Gather the attention of students. Invite students to share their traditions to the class before handing their journals in at the back. | Classroom Management Strategies | ||
