Inauguration Day January 20 (every 4 years) Journal
What's included:
Classroom Poster: project or print to use in small groups! Use this poster to introduce the day, discuss and access prior knowledge. The poster includes symbol text with the date, discussion questions, symbol sentence and a space to tally your students' opinions! Have students journal and then come back to tally what they wanted to say about the topic.
Level 1: Non writers. Students can choose the correct symbol options for the month and date. The symbol sentence is next and you can have them circle the topic if you wish. Next they can give their opinion (errorless), as well as color the picture.
Level 2: Tracers. Students will trace the date and topic. They will write the topic word to the best of their ability. (maybe they use letter stamps). And then they can color and draw a picture.
Level 3: Beginning Writers. Students will write the date and topic. They fill in the blank with their opinion from the word bank below. They will then write a sentence about the topic. This could be the topic sentence, an “I like” or “don’t like” about the topic, or anything they choose! Guide students based on their ability levels. They can then color and/or draw a picture about the topic - again guide as time and ability levels allow.
It was hard to discuss the latest presidential election and the turn over in my room due to some very strong feelings brought from home. I like that I really didn't have to get that deep into a conversation about winners and losers, but could review what went on at the national level. It was an easy and informative set of information to use.
I used the Inauguration activities with my lower level Special Education students. They were very interested in the information given and it brought about great conversations.
I love this activity. It breaks down the topic to make it simple and understandable, while provided a hands on component.
I ❤️ the differentiation as far as the higher level with no pictures and the lower level with pictures. It is nice that we can read the same article but at their level.
I love your material. The level is fantastic for lower functioning students in my classroom.
