Standards:
4.3.2 By the end of the fourth grade, students will make oral presentations that
demonstrate appropriate consideration of audience, purpose, and information to
be conveyed. 4.4.1 By the end of the
fourth grade, students will gain information or complete tasks by listening.
Objectives: Students will be able to
give clear directions to others.
Students will be able to listen to and follow multiple-step oral
directions.
Materials: *paper for drawing. *drawing utensils (crayons, pencils,
markers…)
Anticipatory
Set: Ask
students if they think they give good directions. Then ask them if they can follow directions. Tell them that they might not be as good at
it as they think, so lets find out.
Vocabulary: Do a quick mini-lesson on
directions. Go over north, south, east,
and west. Have the students help in
naming other directions, such as left and right. Write them all down on the board.
Activities:
Provisions
for special needs: If a student has a hearing loss, write the directions on the board,
overhead, or a piece of paper for that student, and he or she can read them.
Closure: Talk to the students about
the importance of clear, concise directions, and also the importance of good
listening skills. If directions are not
given well, or not followed well, then the end result may not be what we
intended it to be.
Assessment: Students were able to give
clear directions to others. Students
were able to listen to and follow multiple-step oral directions. The teacher only graded on participation. If the students kept on task and were doing
what they were supposed to be doing, they got full points.
