Lesson+5-+Using+time+to+tell+a+story+in+sequence



Using time to tell a story in sequence Objective: Students will use time as well as sequence words to show transition of time

** NYS Standards: **
2.CN.1 Recognize the connections of patterns in their everyday experiences to mathematical ideas 2.CN.7 Recognize the presence of mathematics in their daily lives 2.CN.9 Recognize and apply mathematics to objects, pictures, and symbols 2.CM.6 Use appropriate mathematical terms, vocabulary, and language

Key concepts:


 * 1) **There are 24 hours in one day**
 * 2) **You can describe the hours of a day by talking about 3 time periods: //Morning, Afternoon and Night//**
 * 3) **You can "show" that time has elapsed by using time order, or sequence words like: //Next, After that, Then, Finally//**



Measure of Success: Students will be able to create a story using time order words. Students will create a labeled picture representation of this story.

Lesson: (This is a cross-cirrucular lesson that has value for writer's workshop as well) Start the lesson by asking students to describe the flow of their school day. During this discussion, refer to the class' daily schedule and evoke responses that may sound similar to this: //"We have art in the **morning** and then **after that** we have math. **Next**, we have reader's workshop. We go to lunch at **noon**. We have Social Studies in the **afternoon** and then we **finally** go home.// Have students turn and talk to a partner about some activities they routinely do after school and in the evening. As an independent activity, have students create a trifold out of a 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper. Ask them to label each section: They can assign a time to each, use time order words to show progression, or label each section using their choice of 3 appropriate terms; //morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night, midnight.// The objective is for the students to create and label a "film strip" style picture that shows a progression of time. During the share, students will use their math vocabulary words to connect to patterns in their everyday lives. Differentiated Options: //__ Audio Learners/ English Language learners __// : Review video below to hear the key terms, vocabulary and language used throughout this lesson media type="youtube" key="kVDfp3B_HZ4?fs=1" height="385" width="480"  __// Tactile Learners/ Visual Learners //__ : Students will use stamps to create a sequence of time. Clock stamp and washable ink pad will need to be provided for this activity. Student can stamp an imprint of the clock face on their paper. They can draw in the desired time to represent the activity in their story. Student can draw a representation of the activity under the respective clock face. = Technology: Interactive differentiation links = Below is a video demonstration of an interactive whiteboard lesson that can be used to engage learners of all levels along with the whiteboard slide for classroom use
