Introduction
The lesson plan, Chinatown was presented during the week of Chinese
New Year in February. It was the final day of study for Chinatown and full of
review to prepare the students for testing. To introduce this final lesson, I
gathered the students on the carpet and shared with them the gifts my
daughter had received the night before at a Chinese New Year celebration.
She has been dating a young man who is Chinese. I showed the students the
pink slender case my daughter received and had the students guess what
they thought was inside. Many students thought it was a pen. I opened the
case and showed them that it was a pair of chopsticks. I also shared with
them the traditional red envelopes she received from his family. One had a
$20 dollar bill inside and I had the students try to guess how much was in the
other red envelope. After several guesses, I told them there was $200.00
inside! They became so excited and were in awe. The class was so engaged
in this lesson that is was the perfect opening to begin the story of Chinatown.
This literature lesson covers the story of Chinatown and focuses on the
suffixes, -er and est. This lesson plan also covers the prefixes un-, mis-, re-,
and pre-. There will also be a comprehension assessment on the story of
Chinatown, the suffixes and the prefixes.
