Lesson Sequence:
1. Activity #1: Students will complete a quick write for no more than 3 minutes about what
a public issue is? After completion pf the quick write, students will share their thoughts
and ideas with others in the group. (5 minutes)
2. Activity #2: Students will then learn about the public issue in their local community;
making Presque Isle Smoke Free. Students will work together to connect their own
experiences at Presque Isle and what they learned about the issue to formulate a rationale
of why the city is working to make Presque Isle smoke-free. (15 minutes)
3. Activity #3: Students and teacher will complete a large brainstorming map poster about
how they think the issue could be solved and with whose help. (10 minutes)
4. Activity #4: After completion of the map, students will learn about what an action plan is
and why it is necessary to formulate a plan when handling and changing a public issue.
(10 minutes)
5. Activity #5: Students will then begin to brainstorm a list of possible people in the
community that we could contact in regards to the public issue and what might we ask
them or want to know from. (10 minutes)
Exploring/Extending:
An extension activity could include having students begin work on an original art piece
that will illustrate a before and after piece of what the park looks like and what would change if
the issue were to actually be made into a law or regulation.
Closure:
The teacher will close the lesson letting the students know what they will be learning and
thinking about in upcoming lessons. She will also explain that the learning logs will be taken
each tie, so that the teacher can see the progress of the students and to monitor what the students
are learning and still want to learn.
Adaptations:
Since we have already received background knowledge about the students, I am aware
that I can push my three students to think outside of the box and into higher order level thinking.
I will need to remember this as I plan future lesson and gather more information from this first
lesson.
