Thematic Lesson Plan

Theme: Land, Sea, Space, Air I Can Travel Everywhere! (Transportation)Rationale: The unit on transportation helps the students to know the importance of different kinds of transportation because it is part of their everyday lives. The students have experienced at this point of age ridding a school bus, driven to school by car, travel on a vacation on a plane or a boat. At this point of age the students learn through play and providing hands-on activities will draw them in to play and learn.Grade Level:1 Subject: English Language Arts/ Social Studies | Language Component The teacher will explain and discuss the importance of different kinds of mode of transport. While explaining the importance the teacher talks about cars, truck, bus, and airplanes how it is useful in their daily lives. We will be reading about the different mode of transport and see how people depend on transportation to help them do their jobs and get around the community, state, country, and world. Also, visuals will be provided so that students can differentiate the different modes. Explain to students that people use different forms of transportation (such as a car, bus, ferry, or airplane) to get from place to place. People also depend on transportation to help them do their jobs. Discuss different examples together. Firefighters use fire engines, emergency medical technicians use ambulances, and letter carriers use mail trucks. Construction, public safety, and sanitation workers use a variety of different vehicles to help them, including cranes, cement trucks, sanitation trucks, and tow trucks. Ask students questions like “What vehicles do people you know use for specific jobs?” | Math Component The teacher will re-discuss the importance of the different kinds of mode of transportation.
