Community Helpers

| Introduction: |
|
| |
There are many people in a community that have a job of helping
others. Community Helpers are a very important part of our communities.
Community Helpers give their time helping others. Some examples
of Community Helpers are: Doctors, postal workers, nurses, teachers,
librarians, fire men and women, and police men and women. This
lesson will introduce you to many helpers in your community.

| Task: |

How many people can you think of that have jobs to help others?
You will play a part in your community. You may choose to
be a Police Officer, Fire Man or Woman, Librarian, Teacher,
Postal Worker, Construction Worker, Nurse or Doctor. At the
end of this lesson you will dress up and act out the "job"
that you do as a community helper.

Your job is to look at the resources website and listen to the different community
helpers. Think about one community worker you would either
like to be or would like to share about.
In this section you will explore the job and responsibilities
for your role playing.
First, Decide on which Community Helper you will represent.
Next, read through the questions below to find out more about
the Community Helper.

| Evaluation: |
|
| |
Each student will share with the class what they learned about one community helper. Also, the student must find a picture of that community helper (from a magazine or the web) and bring it to class.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
|
| |
The students will have time to do this webquest at school or at home. After
we have shared, questions will be asked, by the teacher, to
see if students have learned something about community helpers
before beginning on our community helpers unit.
As you have learned Community Helpers have many important
roles in our community. Without these people in our community
we would not have many of the things that we have now. Without
Doctors and Nurses we would not be able to be diagnosed when
we are sick. Without firefighters we would have no one to
put out fires and help others in need. Without police officers
we would not have a law service to protect us. Without Librarians
we would not have anyone to help us research topics with us
and select the perfect book. These community helpers do all
these things and more. If you would like more information
about Community Helpers visit the library and ask your favorite
librarian.
