Modeling of the Concept

Student will be sitting on the floor when the teacher is
giving the step-by-step instruction on how to do the
activity.
Each student will be given a pumpkin. Already on the
pumpkin is the blue water painted on. On the orange
spots remaining, the students will paint in the
continents. Each continent will be a different color. They
will then label the continents with a black sharpie
marker. The last thing the students will have to do is
put a rubber band around the middle of the pumpkin.
This is will simulate the equator.
Guiding the Practice
The teacher will walk around the classroom at the
activity is being done. She will make sure everyone is
on task, see if they need help, and ask questions a long
the way.

Most of my activities so far have been individual work. I

think doing some group work will be a good change.
