Number of girls: 5
Time: 1:00 ¡V 1:40
Objectives: At the end of the lesson, students should be able to:
Knowledge:
i. Tell of the two (2) islands that make our federation
ii. Define ¡§island¡¨
Skill:
iii. Recognize St. Kitts and Nevis by shape
iv. Given an outline of the islands, they should be able to show the area that is designated as land and tell of its colour (green), and also to tell of the areas that are the sea and tell of its colour (blue)
Attitude:
v. Appreciate the fact that St. Kitts and Nevis make up our Federation.
Concepts:
Higher Order: island, twin islands
Lower Order: shape, map
Generalizations:
Higher Order: Our islands have distinct shapes
Our islands are surrounded by a body of water known as the Caribbean Sea
Lower Order: Our islands can be shown on a map.
Our two (2) islands form a federation
Lesson Content:
ľ An island is a piece of land surrounded by water
ľ St. Kitts and Nevis make up our Federation
ľ The colour that represents land is green and the colour that represents water is blue
Previous Knowledge: Students can tell of the concept of an island and the name of the island on which they live.
Resources:
o Maps
o Crayons
o Outline of drawings of St. Kitts and Nevis
Teaching Strategy:
o inductive discovery, individual inquiry
Social Studies Process:
- critical thinking
Introduction:
Teacher introduces map of St. Kitts and Nevis to students and have them observe it and tell what it is showing.
Lesson Development:
1. Teacher explains to students what the maps are showing: Teacher says, ¡§this is a map and it is a picture showing the shape of islands. Explain to students that an island is a piece of land which is surrounded by water.
2. Have students use their fingers to outline the portion of the map which represents land. Have them tell of the colour which is used to represent land, (¡§What colour represents land?¡¨ Expected response ¡V green). Elicit from students where the sea is found. Teacher says, ¡§Can you show me where the water is found?¡¨ Have them locate the sea on the map. Ask them to tell of the colour that represents water, (¡§What colour represents water?¡¨ Expected response ¡V blue.). Teacher discuss the colour blue used on the map and emphasize that our islands are surrounded by water.
3. Have students describe the shape of the two islands. Provide them with an opportunity to look at different pictures featuring the shape of the islands. Have them tell of the different shapes that they perceive the island to look like. (Teacher asks, ¡§What shape does St. Kitts have?¡¨ Expected responses ¡V a chicken, a drumstick, a bat. ¡§What shape does Nevis have?¡¨ Expected responses ¡V a ball, a dumpling)
Closure:
Recap with students, the names of each island. Have them desribe their shapes. Have them recall the definition for an ¡§island¡¨ and also to tell what maps are.
Application:
Students would be given a paper with an outline of both St. Kits and Nevis and would be required to label the two islands, colour the land green and the water blue and to colour the keys provided with the appropriate colours to represent both sea and land.
