Procedures/Activities
Step:
1 Duration: several days
During the early part of the school year, have pupils begin a
scrapbook about themselves. Take a picture of each pupil and include this on an
opening page. Make a graph showing height and weight in September. Then provide
space to continue this each month of the school term. Strengthen the pupils’
sense of identity by having them write about themselves. What kinds of things do
they enjoy, what hobbies do they have, and so on. Include a page where they can
list any of the books they read and the other projects they do. Any special
events in which they participate can also be included. During the final month of
the school term, discuss their growth and achievement. If possible, include
another picture.
Step: 2 Duration: 30
min.
At the end of the year, to help the students realize how much
they have actually grown, have a “Last Year’s Clothing Day.” On a special day
after you have completed checking the growth charts, ask pupils to bring to
school a coat or other article of clothing that they wore last year. Have pupils
attempt to put these on to show how the sleeves are now too short and so on,
verifying their growth even though it was hardly noticeable as it
occurred.
Step: 3 Duration:
6. The children may do a different page of their scrapbook
each month when they are measured and weighed. Hand out the booklets at the
year’s end, discussing changes that have occurred, as the students look back
through their booklets.

Technology Connection
Assessment
Students participation while making their booklets will be
evaluated.
Extension
Ask students to bring in baby pictures and see if the class
can match the baby picture with the correct student.
Remediation
Each month, record students' growth on a growth chart in the
classroom so students can see their growth each month. At the end of the year,
have students put these numbers into a graph.
Accommodation
Modification
For students with significant disabilities, what changes can
be made in instruction and teaching delivery to allow students to participate in
classroom instruction while working on IEP objectives and off grade level QCC
standards. Below are suggested modifications correlated to the procedures of
this lesson plan.
