8. Grade 1 Ages 6&7

9. 1. After Morning Meeting, I will tell my students to stay on the carpet and explain to them that we will be learning about two states of matter throughout the day- Solids and Liquids. 2. I will then play the video and stop it at the two points that ask for examples of a solid and liquid. 3. I will take a few quiet hands to tell me examples of these two things. 4. After the video is over, we will then go over the PowerPoint. 5. We will follow the instructions on the PowerPoint because it contains all of the main points that I want to go over with them. 6. After the PowerPoint is finished, I will ask if there are any questions about what we will be doing today. 7. I will answer any questions, and then we will go into the reading lesson that we will be doing that day. I will keep them on the carpet so that we are all together and I can inform them that we will be learning about solids and liquids. The video is a fun way to keep their attention but it will also explain in a visual way valuable information to them. Asking for some of my students to give examples is a way to informally assess what they already know, and what they are learning from the video. The PowerPoint leaves ample room for discussion and learning about solids and liquids. Asking if there are any questions gives me a way to see what I need to explain better before we start actually doing the activities. I will not be able to reflect on my social studies lesson until it has been taught.
