LESSON PLAN: Differentiated Second Grade Lesson on Citizenship
Reflecting back on our class sessions I have gained new knowledge in implementing Differentiated Learning into the classroom. Teaching Second Grade I have the opportunity to address each learning style and tailor lessons suitable for those individuals. In the beginning of the year we take time to make the classroom our own community. We address responsibilities, procedures, and norms so that a safe and positive community is established.The lesson plan I have "tweaked" is Citizenship. In this lesson I have incorporated multiple types of activities to support Differentiated Instruction. I hope you find these useful in your own classroom.
Know:
Students will know and understand the concepts of rights and responsibilities.
