George Washington Carver is someone whom we do not often hear about but he had a lot
of courage throughout his life and accomplished amazing things. As it is African
American History month we are learning about multiple African Americans who have
done amazing things and are often not given appropriate recognition for their attributes
to our lives and history.
I am starting this lesson with a conversation about past versus present because it is a
complex topic that was only recently taught and needs to be remembered. This quick
conversation is followed by a read aloud of George Washington Carvers life to really
showcase all that he accomplished in his life. Students will then create a facts anchor
chart about him to check comprehension and then work on figuring out a timeline of his
life. It is important for students to see his lifes work and then be able to apply that
information sequentially.
Formative-
-Observations throughout whole group lesson.
- Review of timeline and facts sheet create in a whole group setting
Summative-
Comprehension page
Who is George Washington Carver?
How did he impact our lives today?
In what sequential order did his life take place?
They will have to be able to identify that people and events from the past were alive and
occurred a long time ago and that they are not currently taking place.
I know that my students are very bright and have grasped the concept of putting things
into sequential order so having to do that for George Washington Carver will make his life
more memorable.
