Grade 2 Time (Undecided) Unit Goal:** Learning Goal 1. Students will organize ideas and concepts in the form of informational writing (reports or procedures): //Objective 2 6.1// Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by completing graphic organizerer //Objective 2 6.2// Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by selecting facts as necessary to show a background understanding //Objective 2 6.3// Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by listing steps of a procedure //Objective 2 6.4// Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by creating a list of necessary resources in a given task
 * Using Graphic Organizers to Organize Daily Activities
 * Objectives**


 * Materials and Resources**
 * Graphic Organizer Worksheet
 * Plain Paper for Story Writing

I will say to kids a little story about myself getting ready for school that day, "You will never BELEIVE what happened to me before school today.... FIRST.... NEXT...THEN....FINALLY...." Then I will say, "How about YOU, can someone tell me what is the VERY first thing they did today?" We will make a list as a class and students will then see how I apply the list, to create a graphic organizer showing the same information from the list.
 * Introduction**

To check for understanding, we will then do the following pre-assessment: //Pre-assessment:// In a graphic organizer, students will be asked to organize the activities and materials they came in contact with when preparing for school in the morning. We will then review the graphic organizer with the students, individually or as a class, to check if there are any problem areas.

Next students will be paired up with one another. They will first orally tell one another what the do when they are getting ready for school. Then they will use their grahpic organizers and together, select objects that they used in the morning to get ready (ex, toothbrush, alarm clock, breakfast foods..) Students will share with one another and try to find resources that the other forgot. The students, in pairs will then present their lists to the teacher so that I can make sure that they are grasping the concept of how to organize ideas or concepts by creating a list of necessary resources in a given task (objective 2 6.4)
 * Lesson Development**

Using the list that they created, students will write each object next to the corresponding step of getting ready in their graphic organizer (ex) for "FIRST, my alarm clock went off, one would put alarm clock next to this event) Students will then be asked, indepedently, to take their graphic organizers, along with their lists of necessary objects, and create a story, "How I Got to School Today." Students will be asked to try to include each even in their graphic organizer as well as each object.

The students will then present their stories to the class. They will answer questions from their classmates after reading their stories.
 * Closure**

Objective 2 6.1 Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by completing graphic organizerer Assessed: Graphic Organizer will be aassessed on a scale of 1-4; 4 being all steps were in accurate order, 1 being all out of order Objective 2 6.2 Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by selecting facts as necessary to show a background understanding Assessed: On a scale of 1-4, students will be assessed as to if all objects they put on their list, had attached activities in their graphic organizer. 4 - All were; 3 - Most were; 2 - some were; 1 - Little to none were Objective 2 6.3 Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by listing steps of a procedure Assessed: Lists will be assessed on a scale of 1-4; 4 being all steps were in accurate order, 1 being all out of order Objective 2 6.4 Students will demonstrate an understanding of how to organize ideas or concepts by creating a list of necessary resources in a given task Assessed: Students will be assessed by comparing the lists of objects and and events in their grpahic organizer. If there is at least one object per event, they will recieve a 4; If most steps have at least one object, they will recieve a 3, if only one or two have corresponding objects, they will recieve a 2, if there is little to no connections between the events described and the objects listed, they will recieve a one.
 * Assessment**

To prevent confusion with graphic organizer, students will first write out these events first, and then give them graphic organizers to then use the information from their story to fill in. We will also go over an example as a class so I could show the students how the flow from one event to following divided events occurs. Depending on developmental level, some children may need to draw in the squares, but it will still be the same concept of oraganization. There will be a poster in the room with sentance startes of a story..."First... Second...Next...Then...Finally..." Students will be sitting in their normal seating areas - grouped in several desks. This will allow for group discussion and presentation to one another. The teacher will be standing in front of the groups while teaching the concepts.
