Teaching Process & Modeling (Content is presented, accessed, or built): Guided Practice & Checking for Understanding: Independent Practice: 1. The teacher will ask the students to stand up at their seats. 2. The teacher will say allowed directions such as move 1 step north and 1 step east and the students will follow the directions by moving their bodies. The teacher will continue this about 3-5 times to make sure all students are following directions properly and moving in the correct directions. 3. The students will then sit down and we will play direction bingo. 4. The teacher will tell the students what spot on the bingo chart to place their finger, such as the pencil. The teacher will then give directions such as when the students were standing. 5. At the end of the set of directions the teacher will have the class say out loud where their finger ended up listening to make sure all students are following directions. 6. The students will then get the Plymouth map worksheet. 7. The teacher will give directions on what colors to color each object on the map. 8. The teacher will check for understanding by having the students turn in their worksheets and see that they colored the objects at each direction the proper color. 9. If time at the end, the teacher will call students up to the front of the room and have them give directions for direction bingo. 10. The teacher will call on as many students at the end as there is time for before we go to music. 29 min.
