B. Educational and Occupational Exploration
Begin class by having children name some different jobs. Try to let
each child name at least one different job (e.g., teacher, fireman). Then
tell the class to think of what a “grown-up’ is. Have some children
describe what a “grown-up” is in their own words. Make sure all children
understand what a “grown-up” is. After this discussion, tell the students
to close their eyes and dream about what they would like to do when they
grow up. Tell them to think of at least two jobs. After all the students
have thought of jobs, have them draw and color a picture of what they
would like to be when they grow up. Save these pictures for the next class
period. In the next class period, pass out the cardboard figures and tell
the children that they are going to make a mobile. Have the children
design their figures according to the pictures they drew on what they want
to be when they grow up. When the children have finished, let them share
their figure with the class. Then attach figures with string to hangers
and hang from ceiling.
Students' participation in the activity will be
evaluated.
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.
