Materials ● Introductory video ● 4-square vocabulary worksheet ● Journal ● Writing utensil ● Blank paper ● markers/ crayons/ colored pencils Lesson Plan Text Abstract The purpose of this lesson is to educate the students about patriotic holidays in the United States such as, Veteran’s Day and Memorial Day and incorporating historical events like 9/11. The lesson plans focus on a variety of material that will help students understand the importance of Veteran’s Day and how it has affected their home in the Rio Grande Valley (RGV). It starts by introducing the history of Veteran’s Day as it was established in November 11, 1947 in the state of Alabama, followed by explaining the reasoning behind the holiday (Veterans Day National Committee, 2006). It further explains important figures of the Rio Grande Valley, like Freddy Gonzalez’ life in his memorial book “When The River Dreams” (Flores, 2006). We will focus on answering the following questions, Who is a veteran?, What is Veterans Day?, When is Veterans Day?, Where is Veterans Day?, Why Veterans Day is celebrated?, and how Veterans day is relatable to the students’ lives? Patriotic Holidays: Veterans Day The lesson plans that are documented on this paper are based on Veterans Day, as well as important people, events, and holidays that will enhance students’ comprehension on the topic. We decided to incorporate the history of Veterans Day and how it came about, as well as what it is since it is important that students become more conscious of the respect and honor that veterans shall be granted for their service. Furthermore, we will explain on a different lesson the types of military and ranking of the armed forces to educate students on the specifications the soldiers perform, depending on their different services. In addition, the students will have the opportunity to compare Memorial Day to Veterans Day since they are related, yet not the same. Plus, the students will be given the opportunity to learn and study about a local hero from the RGV, Freddy Gonzalez, to improve relevance and sentiment towards their community. Also, the students will be exposed to the 9/11 attacks, in order for them to understand the motives and reasons of civil servants going to duty, in the most recent years, as well as giving them the opportunity to find possible relatives in line of duty.Finally, students will commemorate the veterans by writing them a letter expressing their gratitude towards their service and the respect they deserve. In accordance to the base of our lessons, teaching our students about Veterans Day and incorporating relevance to the students’ community, we based our pedagogy on Vygotsky’s theory (1934). Vygotsky’s study emphasized the strong relationship between cognitive development and interaction with the environment. Specifically, community and the significance it creates across learning (McLeod, 2018).

Materials and Resources: Video on Memorial Day facts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWn2RPr-GhE Venn diagram Grave decorating activity Projector Pencil Color pencils Butcher paper Social Studies Journal Blank paper Instructional Sequence (strategies and learning tasks): Purpose: The purpose for this lesson is for students to understand the differences between Veterans Day and Memorial Day since these two holidays celebrate similar things. Students will be able to know the importance of remembering not only the living soldiers, but also the ones who died defending their country. Accessing Prior Knowledge (5 min): students will be engaged in a class discussion involving what they learned about Veterans Day, days prior. This is to get the students thinking about the differences that exist between these two holidays. The teacher will focus on answering the following questions: What day is Veterans Day celebrated on? Who is remembered on Veterans Day? and Who is a Veteran? Teacher Modeling (5 min): After the class discussion, students will watch a video containing the facts about Memorial Day. It discusses issues like why it came about, when is it celebrated, and what events occur during this day. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWn2RPr-GhE). After they finish watching the video, students will engage in a class discussion about what they learned from the video. As a class, they will start coming up with similarities and differences between the holiday that was taught a couple of days prior (Veterans Day), and the one taught today. Guided Practice (10 min): With the video in mind, the teacher will work together with the students to create a Venn Diagram that will represent what similarities and differences Veterans Day and Memorial Day have. This will be done through a butcher paper pasted on the board so all the students can see. After the Venn Diagram is finished, the students will copy the end result on their social studies journal for future reference. The focus points will be: the different days in which they are celebrated, the people who the holidays remember (the living, deceased, or both soldiers), how the holidays were brought up, and what events occur during the day in which it is celebrated. (information for the above sections was retrieved from: Teachers resource guide honoring all who served, 2006). Independent Practice (20 min): For the independent practice, students will be given a grave in which they must decorate for a fallen soldier of the Armed Forces. This will relate to how Memorial Day was first known as “Decoration Day” with the intent of decorating the graves of those soldiers who sacrificed their lives in battle as well as remembering them. Then, the students will choose 3 different facts about Memorial Day that they learned throughout the lesson, and they will incorporate them in the center of the grave they will decorate. The intent for this is that students fully understand that Veterans Day and Memorial Day are two separate holidays, that even though they are familiar, they still have several differences. Closure (5 min): To close the lesson, students will create an “Exit ticket” where they write something they liked about the lesson, something they didn’t understand, and something that they learned. After they create it, three volunteers will read their exit ticket to the class so the teacher can reinforce any questions students have, as well as students being able to sum up what they learned and took from the lesson.

Strategies for ELL students and Special Needs students: For ELL students and students with special needs, there will be visuals for them to guide themselves through the activities by showing a model of the end product.Consistent monitoring of the teacher will be available. Materials and Resources: Book: When The River Dreams by J. Flores Projector Medal activity Butcher paper Sticky Notes Pencil Color Pencils Instructional sequence (strategies and learning tasks): Accessing Prior Knowledge (5 min): The teacher will engage the students in a class discussion where they point out the importance of veterans and the service they perform. The focus points will be: Why do they think that Veterans service is important? Do they believe that serving in the armed forces is a valuable and honorable duty? Does anyone have a family member who is a veteran? and if so, How do they feel about their service? and Who would like to be a soldier one day? Teacher Modeling (8 min): The teacher will first read a letter obtained from the book “When The River Dreams” that Freddy wrote to his mother while serving in war. After reading the letter, she will ask the students what they think about it, and infer who Freddy is and what he accomplished. After the discussion, the teacher will create a chart on the projector where she will demonstrate all the accomplishments that Freddy Gonzalez achieved (the medals he won and the reasons why he won them), as well as general information (place or birth, of death, battles he was involved in, and armed forces where he served) while finally mentioning the memorials that are found here in the RGV. Guided Practice (7 min): After learning about the life of Freddy Gonzalez, the teacher and the students will create a thank you letter as a class destined for him. The focus points the teacher will address are: Why was Freddy Gonzalez so important? Was he an honorable soldier? How do they feel that he is from the RGV? and, Why is it important to thank Freddy and acknowledge his efforts during his time of service? Independent Practice (20 min): The students will be given a medal that they must decorate/color. After doing so, they will each come up with a name for the medal and a purpose for it. They will write 2-3 sentences where they explain said purpose. Finally, they will choose someone who they want to give the medal to, and they will write 1-2 reasons why they want to award it to him/her. This will all be written in the same paper. Closure (5 min): For the closure, and as a way for the teacher to reinforce the material taught, the students will be each given a post it in which they need to write a fact learned about the life of Freddy Gonzalez. Afterwards, they will go on to the board where a piece of butcher paper will be found and they will post their fact on it. Finally, the teacher will read around 5-7 post it notes to the class, and she will clarify questions or simply learn students’ comprehension about the topic taught. 9/11 Remembrance Teacher: Jacklynn Kiefer Date: 2/23/19 Subject / Grade level: Social Studies/2nd Grade Materials: ● 911 Fact Sheet ● Pencils/Markers ● Napkins ● Red, white, and blue paint ● Construction Paper ● Computer ● Memorial Wall Virtual Tour - https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7123473,-74.0134411,2a,75y,117.33h,46.45t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1saCFxtnF4hsn8xZX1YKPRVQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 ● 911 Hero Tour - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KvRqk3bylw&feature=youtu.be NC SCOS Essential Standards and Clarifying Objectives §113.13.
