For
Ellen and Megan’s lesson, it was for first grade titled a box of crayons. We
started off by playing a game called trading places. The teachers had different
questions that they asked and if it applied to us, we had to switch places with
someone else in the room. We did this multiple times; the idea of this was to
explain about diversity and that everyone is different and it’s good to be
different, otherwise things would be boring.
Then,
we took a big piece of white construction paper and folded it into thirds
hamburger style. For the first part at the top, we had to be creative and draw
a crazy/fun head. It was cool to not have to worry about drawing a human head;
you could come up with anything you wanted! After that, we passed our papers to
the right and the next person had to draw a body. They couldn’t look at what
the head looked like. For the third section, which was at the bottom, we passed
our papers again to the right and that person had to draw some legs. Then, we
turned our papers in and the teachers held each one up. They looked like crazy
creatures but it was funny to see what everyone came up with! Finally, we took
a piece of paper that had a big crayon on it and colored it and designed it as
something to represent us. I used all of the colors that are my favorite on
there and I also drew a picture of myself with a big smile because I love to
smile and be happy! I also wrote NSU and drew a basketball on my crayon because
that’s where I go to school and play basketball.
For
an extension activity, students could write a story about their crayon that
they drew of themselves. They could also write a story of the “creature” that
they drew. If they did a story about the creature that they drew, they could
come up with a fun name for it and where it lives, etc.
