Lesson Plan 1

Involving students in the Mother Tongue book Project is a rich, interdisciplinary task. It can be very rewarding and as in depth or as simple as you want to make it. Originally I taught this as a four lesson unit but have condensed it down to two. I also taught it as an Art/Science/ Social Awareness unit but it be used to study anything from history to geography to creative writing. It is a chance for students to become the experts and pass that expertise onto other students.

OVERVIEW:

This lesson will be introduction to the idea of Mother Tongue books. This lesson is about building the scaffolding for our project, understanding the importance of it, and then looking at how we can contribute through scientific research. We will study examples of scientific based illustrations, and practice accurate detailed drawings as well as conducting and writing our own research on a chosen subjet.
