![Lisa M. Wilson<br />EDUC 533, Lesson Makeover<br />Lesson Original Plans<br />Pioneer Day is a unit that we complete in 4th grade. It has evolved over the past three years, changing each year. I have incorporated technology into the version we used this past school year. Originally we would pass out several different information papers, have the students research, and then put on a Pioneer Day character exhibit.<br />I have chosen to create a PowerPoint presentation to help guide the step by step process of this unit. I plan on using this to give my students the main points of each section. This presentation would not be used in one day, I will be spreading it out over the course of our unit. <br />I have also never used a graphic organizer with this project. I plan on adding it into the rubric for next year. I liked the idea of having my students connect on a more personal basis with how they are similar to their pioneers. I felt like including it in the PowerPoint would help guide their thinking by doing one activity together.<br />I have copied a variety of handouts that I would generally pass out over the course of this unit. For timesaving purposes, I have included them all in this file.4th Grade Pioneer Project<br />We will be beginning our pioneer project during the last week of February. Our class is celebrating the pioneers who settled in our great state. Each student was assigned characters from a pioneer village. They will be researching their lives and write reports from the pioneer’s point of view. We will share our reports and share a meal that might have been typical of the time.<br />On Pioneer Day we will be having our own wax museum. Each student is encouraged to come with props, costumes, drawings, diagrams, etc….to add interest to your character.<br />Although we are not beginning to work on our project for a few weeks, we wanted to give you an idea of what will be taking place. If you find any information prior to the start of our project, please send it in to help your child as they research their pioneer.<br />My character is <br />_________________________________________________<br />4th Grade Pioneer Project<br />My pioneer is ________________________________________________________<br />Please choose from the table below, the project you would like to create with your pioneer information.
