Introductions

Min:10
Get Porter and secretary to hand out the
blue folders.
Use your folders to help you.
Your figurine, and how you dress it, needs to
show that you understand the weather of the
places, and landscape/water etc (ie. you
could make a bathing suit if you are in
Meteghan in the summer because its near
the ocean.)

Hook/Attention Grabber:

Assessment of Prior Knowledge:

Expectations for Learning and Behaviour:

We are making paper figurines of ourselves

to dress to go for one place, during one
season, that weve talked about.
Are they able to apply prior knowledge today
to make these dolls?
We need to get our paper figures into at
least one outfit today before recess. You can
visit quietly while you work.

Procedures
Body
Activity

Min:
1. Explain how to make the clothes using
cardboard scraps or scrap paper.
(FOLDS on the clothes so they stay, not
gluing).
2. At least one outfit by the end of class, if
you finish, start making another.
3. Needs to show you have an
understanding of this community. Label
the paper doll with the community name,
and label the outfit with the season
(back).
4. Do a brief write up explaining why you
picked that place and what you know
about it. Should be 2-3 sentences.
(Harder for the non-writers. Discuss their
doll with them after to make sure they
understand. If they write it out it could
seem they are struggling with the social
studies content, when they could
understand it fine but it is their writing
skills that are challenging.)

Assessments/Differentiation:
Observation:
Discussion:

Who is referring to their folders for support

vs asking (using their resources)?
Who is following the instructions?
Who is putting thought into their doll and its
outfit.
