4. Add a picture under the word as it corresponds to the community. Students willexamine the pictures and will explain the differences they see. Write down key words

next to each picture.

5. Using the same Kinds of Communities box, write the population number that wouldnormally be seen in that community.

6. Ask students to take out their student edition and turn to page 17. As a class, readpages 17-19 sections An Urban Community, Suburb and Rural Communities, and

A Rural Community. Ask students to think about the descriptions as we read and if it

sounds like where we live.

7. When complete, ask students to write on their white boards as they did in step 2 andrecord it on the board. Students should all agree on an answer. If not, reteach using

page 17 of the Teachers Edition.

8. Students will complete a short story using the My Story worksheet independently.9. CLOSURE:Ask students, What major difference in your life would you experience if youlived in a rural community? and have them discuss it with their shoulder partner.

F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding?

1. The answers given on the individual white boards and the answers recorded onthe My Story worksheet.

Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.1. Using the individual white boards instead of raising hands will help me

understand if the students understand the content. Students are inclined to raisetheir hands if more of their peers are raising their hands even if they dont know

the answer. Based on the answers given during the second tally, I can tell if the

students can see the difference between the communities. Individual work

completed with the story will allow me to see how well the students understand

the terminology because they will have to use it correctly in their descriptions.
