You also live in a community. A community is a place where people can get the things they need and want. Communities have places where people live and work. Pass out paper to students. Have them write a paragraph about similarities and differences between their community and an Amish community.
Teacher can assist in their writing by providing a mode.
Students may draw a picture when they are finished writing the paragraph. Use checklist for student participation in discussion. Teacher can check each student's paragraph for a similarity and difference as they are writing them or papers can be collected as an exit slip. Watch a video about Amish communities. Just plain fancy.
