Community Brochures
Grade: 2-3
Length: 45 minutes
Performance Expectations:
- The student will be able to define what a community
is.
- The student will discuss different aspects of
their community(family, neighborhood, school).
- The student will create a brochure for their
chosen community.
Materials: posters or
pictures of examples of communities(family pictures, school pictures,
posters of cities etc.), brochures for community highlights (could
be a brochure about the Katy Trail for the community of Columbia,
Missouri), construction paper, crayons, markers, glue, scissors,
pencil, sample brochure that I made.
Procedures:
Introduction:
Discuss with the class what they think a community
is. Talk about the different communities the children are a part
of. These could be school, family, city, neighborhoods etc. Write
the different communities the children think of on large paper
or the chalkboard.
Development:
Show the children the posters, pictures and brochures
of example communities. Tell them that they are going to make
a brochure for a community they are a part of. They should be
told again what a community is. Point out significant parts of
the posters, pictures and brochures that you brought in to show
as examples. They can use the construction paper to fold it into
thirds to make a brochure. Tell the students that they can pick
a community they are a part of and create a brochure for that
community. For example, if they want to create a 'family community'
brochure, they may want to draw pictures of their family or write
what their family does together, or what their family means to
them.
Closure:
After the children are finished creating their community
brochure, have them show their creations. Ask why they chose that
particular community. Tell them to go home to their family community
and share their creation.
Assessment:
The completion of a brochure with pictures and words
about their community.
Observation during closing discussion.
Adaptations:
To extend this lesson, the class could go on field
trips to different community landmarks. Discuss how that particular
place is unique to the community.
