Task 2~ Unit II Melber & Hunter

As I was reading Unit II, I decided to go with strategy 10 on p.70 (Incorporating Service Learning). Since I want to include responsibility and good citizenship in my unit ,I choose to modify the K-2nd grade activiites on p.72.

Activity one: Read aloud: The Little Red Hen

Activity two: Brainstorm small ways that students could help in the community, the classroom, and at home.

Activity three: Then write "I will help __________." sentences. Start by writing "I will help bake bread." (the cat)  Write each sentence on chart paper, writing their name at the end of the sentence. Reread each sentence tracking the print.

Activity four: Graph and discuss student's favorite version of the story.

Activity five: Plant grains of wheat and chart the growth: Note: students must be responsible when taking care of living things.

Activity six: Make stick puppets and role play responsibility and good citizenship.

Activity seven: Have fun with this song~
