Take A Closer Look at Your Neighborhood
Grade level: 3
Length:45 minutes for two days
Performance Expectations: The students will be able
to compare and contrast their community with another one.
Materials: Paper, colored pencils, crayons, books
for students to read about communities
Procedures:
Introduction: Discuss communities and give the students
a brief description of communities. Like school, home, the city
that they live in, the state that they live in, and other places
around the world. Talk with the students about two different
communities that they can compare and contrast. Read a book on
communities to the class.
Development: Explain to the students that they are
going to make a book comparing and contrasting two communities
that they have been to or know a lot about. Tell them that the
cover must have a title with both places on it, a picture, and
their name as the author. Tell them that the left side of each
page must correspond to the right side of each page. Let them
see an example of a book that you have prepared. Tell the students
that they can compare and contrast anything that they want to
and give them examples like weather, food, sports, and rules.
Closure: Discuss the comparisons of the communities
and ask for volunteers to discuss parts of their books. Have students
write at least four complete sentences about these communities
in their journals.
Assessment: Read and respond to the students' books
on a separate piece of paper.
Look over the students journals to see if the students
wrote what was assigned to them.
Adaptations: Students could imagine what it feels
like to live in the other community.
