o Draw illustrations if they want5. Students will share their Venn diagrams with their table groups and as a whole group6. Have whole group discussion about reading and where various products come from7. CLOSURE: Students will write in their social studies journals:
o What are some goods the U.S. imports?o Explain why countries use international trade to import and export goods.
F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding?
I will use informal assessment through discussion, the Venn diagram and journal entries
to measure student understanding.
Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.I will know students understand this concept when they can define international trade
and give examples of imports and exports.
G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?
I think this entire lesson will be easy to teach. I think students will enjoy learningabout international trade and realize that their toys come from different parts of the
world.
2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?I dont think there will be a challenging part of this lesson to teach. I think the
concepts are pretty easy to understand.
3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?The extension of this lesson is going to be in a review session and a formal unit
assessment. This is where students will demonstrate how much information theyhave retained.
4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?I will pull small groups and work independently with students who dont understand
the concept being taught.

I dont think any part of the lesson needs to be changed. There are many activities
that can be used to compare imports and exports though, but that is up to the
teacher.
6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?There wasnt really a difficult part of writing this lesson. I think the concepts were
easy to write about and create a lesson for.
