Entry 6
Who are the people in your neighborhood? Jobs and responsibilities people have in their communities have changed over time. Firefighters, police officers, and paramedics help keep community members safe. Doctors, nurses, and dentists help keep people healthy. Drivers and conductors transport people from place to place. The jobs of teachers, librarians, mayors, farmers, sanitation workers and more are all present time occupations that we see in our community. In the past, community job were much different. Blacksmiths, shoemakers, coopers, farmers and a tanners are all some of the important jobs held by people in the 1800s (long ago). I will explain to students what each of these jobs are and show examples on the smartboard using youtube or another source.
(CONTENT)
The lesson will start by having a classroom discussion on present day jobs/professions. Students will identify some of the jobs they are familiar with in their neighborhood/community. (DOK 1) (Standard 8.3.1C) Read a book to inform students how jobs have changed over time (1800s to present day). Students will compare jobs then and now and draw conclusion as to why some of the popular jobs from the past are no longer (advancement in technology) (DOK 3) . Culminating activity to follow will be having students create a foldable of “THEN and NOW”. (DOK 4) Students will demonstrate understanding of how life has changed for people over time in each of the following four categories: 1) transportation 2) clothing 3) jobs and 4) school. Students will illustrate the changes on the foldable (Standards 8.3.1.C, 1.4.1B)

Lisa,
ReplyDeleteSee my comments on Lori's blog - some of your "now" jobs did exist in the 1800s.

The lesson will start by having a classroom discussion on present day jobs/professions. Students will identify some of the jobs they are familiar with in their neighborhood/community. (DOK 1) (Standard 8.3.1C) Students will also illustrate the jobs/professions in their journals giving me a better understanding that they are familiar with this professional and a sentence will follow stating their responsibility in our community. Read a book to inform students how jobs have changed over time (1800s to present day). Students will compare jobs then and now and draw conclusion as to why some of the popular jobs from the past are no longer as popular (advancement in technology) . Students will make a hypothesis as to how jobs popular jobs today may change again in the future. What jobs that are here today will no longer be around as time goes on because of technology (DOK 3). Culminating activity to follow will be having students create a foldable of “THEN and NOW”. (DOK 4) Students will demonstrate understanding of how life has changed for people over time in each of the following four categories: 1) transportation 2) clothing 3) jobs and 4) school.
