"Before I met you (the class), I had developed a mental image of how each of you looked, what kind of student you would be and etc." Teacher will share some of them. Teacher will engage students by asking about their mental image of her. What kind of teacher did they think she would be?, etc. |
Practice: | Teacher will turn of radio and have students close their eyes and listen for a few minutes to an announcer and then draw a mental picture of what they think he or she looks like, what kind of house he lives in, what kind of neighborhood he lives in, describe his family and etc. Make a list on the board. |
Accommodations: | Students will then gather in small groups of 5 and compare their descriptions, using a Venn Diagram and create ONE descripion and ONE picture of Bud. |
Checking For Understanding: | Students will read their description and show their picture to the class. |
