Procedures:
Introduction (10 minutes): I will first get the students together in the classroom and get them

seated. I will then explain to them as to what is going to happen in the classroom and the lesson

plan for that day. The students are going to break off into groups and they will be placed into

three stations of the classroom where they will have different tasks to do at the three stations. In

the three sections, they will work with the teacher in one group, work with each other in another

group, and work independently with the last group.

Working with the teacher (15 minutes): the first group will be with me and we will watch a

short video about the government and families. After watching the video I will have the students

take five minutes to discuss what they learned and have them to list what government and their

family means to them. I will have them create a chart and state things that they know on one

side, what they may want to learn, and after discsuuionf the topic write down somethings they

did not know before doing the activirty.

government in South Carolina. I will give them a big white piece of paper and they will come up

with different laws that they think would be influential to them and their families. the students

will be working together to create their own government laws and they will be able to hang

them up in the classroom.

Independent Work (30 minutes): The third group will be doing independent work. I will have

them to watch two short videos of what government is on the computer individually. They will

also play a game that Once they finish watching the video, I will have them to draw a picture of

their family and their community.
