This lesson offers a focused approach to studying setting, using To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. My third graders have an adopted grandparent at a nearby nursing home each year. We write letters, make cards and tapes, and send holiday gifts. We also visit our grandparent each Christmas. We not only visit with our grandparent, but we also sing carols and visit with other residents.
Students learn fractions and percentages in real-life applications.
Each participant receives a laminated, bound copy. In this lesson students learn how to work in cooperative groups to create their own businesses. Students play a grammar game in which they practice using verbs and adverbs. Younger students can play the game to learn to identify verbs and adverbs in English. Older students might play the game to practice using verbs and adverbs in a foreign language.
