 * = Learning Objectives =
 * The student will learn the different roles that each person in the Colonial family plays.
 * The student will know what types of jobs were needed during Colonial times.
 * The student will be able to answer demonstrate their knowledge of Colonial jobs by answering specific questions.
 * The student will be able to differentiate between Colonial families, and families today.

1) Introduction: The teacher will inform the students that they will learn about families in Colonial times, and the roles they played. They will also learn about the different jobs that were needed during colonial times. The teachers will ask students what they know about home life and jobs during the Colonial time. Ask questions such as  · “What do you think people did for a living during the Colonial time period?”  · “What types of jobs do you think were important?”  · What types of chores would you do if you lived during that time period?”   · “What things do you want to know about colonial life?”

2) “Students, record your answers on your K-W-L sheet. Think about anything you may have already learned about the Colonial era. Think about the questions I just asked you. Then, think about what we might learn today about Colonial families and jobs.” 3) “Now, we are going to do a reader’s theater. Each one of you will receive a different job that was needed during Colonial times. Each job is very important for different reasons. Each student will receive a badge, with a picture of a different worker on it. This is the character you will play. You will also receive a script. Find the paragraph that goes with your profession. This is the section you will read out loud. You will be given about 10 minutes to practice the script.” NOTE: Make sure that each student has a job. Depending on the amount of students in the classroom, some may have to overlap. 4) “Each student will read their script out loud when it is their turn. Make sure to be quiet and listen, so you all can learn about the different jobs that existed during the Colonial period.” Each student reads their paragraph out loud, and shows their pictures to give students a visual representation of what the job entails. Ask questions:  · “Does anyone have a question about the different jobs?”  · “What jobs do you think they had then, that we still have today?”  · “Why do you think these jobs were important?” 5) In order for students to find out more about colonial professions and family life, the teacher can use the following website: [] 6) The teacher will introduce the students to the website. “Today, you are going to become detectives. You will use this website to go back in time and investigate the daily lives of a colonial family, the Daggetts. The teacher should share this website with the class. Depending on the classroom and computer access, this activity can be done teacher lead, or in groups. Since this is a second grade class, teacher lead will be the most effective way. 7) The teacher will guide the students through the website, where they will learn about what parents, as well as children, did from day to day life. The teacher will ask each question to the students, to ensure that they understand each of the pages. The questions refer to the different sections of the website, and once the question is answered, it will provide more detail about the different topics. NOTE: The questions will be used as informal assessments to make sure students comprehend. Ask questions: · “What jobs did you see on this website that we have already learned about?” · “How were the children different from you?” · “How were they similar?

8) “Now, think back to what you have learned. Use this compare and contrast sheet to find similarities and differences between Colonial families and jobs, and your family today. This assessment is put in the portfolio.  · How is your family like a Colonial family?   · Do you help around the house and have chores like these children?  · Do you do the same kind of chores, or different chores?  · Do your parents have the same jobs, or are they different? 9) If there is additional time, the website has much to offer. A fun activity to do with students is the “What’s Wrong with this Picture?” It provides pictures of Colonial life, and has added things that would not be present during that time. || || Materials: Resources: || **Assessment** · How will student learning be assessed? Authentic/Alternative assessments? · Are you using a rubric? · Informal assessment: participation rubrics, journal entries, collaborative planning/presentation notes || //Be sure to include Pre/Post assessment in your lesson plans!// Pre-Assessment: Post-Assessment: || What accommodations do you make for ESOL, Gifted/Talented students, Learning/Reading disabilities, etc || ESOL/SLD: Gifted/Talented: If time allows, teachers should implement or recommend to students the book “Colonial Voices” by Kay Winters. This book follows a young boy named Ethan, as he delivers the newspaper to different businesses and talks about the different occupations during his time. The book visits a shoemaker, barber, and provides insights as to what life was like during the colonial period. ||

 * The K-W-L will record what the students have learned throughout the week. The reader’s theater is an interactive way for students to learn the content without just reading from a textbook, or doing a worksheet.
 * The website incorporates technology, which can help students become more involves.
 * The videos on the website provide visual representations of what colonial life was like.
 * Since many new words are being introduced to them, ESOL students can use the reader’s theater script to refer to for spelling or definitions of different jobs.
 * The teacher will explain directions, and ask questions to check for understanding and clarification.
 * I would let the students check out the book “Colonial Voices”. This book is geared towards students ages 9-12, but may be appropriate for younger gifted students.
