The Complete Lesson

Introduction: (the “hook”)

I will ask students to sit on the carpet and facing the rocking chair.

I will show students the book Today I Feel Silly and do a book walk.

I will ask questions like:

What do we see on the cover? Throughout the pages?

What do we think this book is about?

I will read the book to the class, while stopping to explain difficult words.

Development: (step by step sequential procedure how the lesson will unfold)

After we finish reading the book, I will first ask students if they know what an emotion is. Then, I will define “emotions” to the class.

I will say something like:

Emotions are strong feelings that usually make us act in certain ways.

Next, I will ask students questions regarding the book.

I will say something like:

What are some emotions we saw in the book?

Have we ever felt (insert emotion stated)?

What makes us feel (insert emotion)?

After the short discussion, we will re-create our own version of “If You’re Happy and You Know It” using a template on the Smartboard. (look at appendix). After completed, we will provide students with a hard copy for their Daily 5 duotang (has songs and poems we learned in class).

Finally, I will have word cards to help students associate the emotion to the word. We will sound them out as a class and have them on the board as a reference in the future.

I will show students an emotion and then we will match the word by phonetically sounding it out.

Tasks:(any tasks that may occur? Carry over time?)

We will be completing two worksheets on emotions. They will involve team work and relating to personal experiences.

I will explain clearly how we will complete each worksheet.
