Community Workers

Students have been learning about our community and the individual jobs that impact our community.  We had many experts come tell us about their jobs and we asked questions such as:
Why is your job important?, Why did you choose your job?  Do you provide a good or service?

We reflect on why these workers are important to our community.  Next, we studied teachers as our whole group community worker.  Students learned why the community worker is important, where he/she works, what good/service he/she provides, a tool he/she uses and an opinion writing on whether or not this a job for you.

This week, students collaborated in small groups to study either a firefighter, police officer, dentist, doctor, nurse or mail carrier.  

Learning Target:  I can explain why a community worker is important to my community.

Students did research to build their schema of the worker and complete a high quality non-fiction information packet.

From there, each group created a presentation using head bands to teach their fellow crew members.

 Learning Target: I can collaborate with my group to create a high quality presentation to teach about my community worker.

Learning Target: I can evaluate a community worker presentation using a rubric.
Rubric
1.  I can use a level 4 voice to communicate.
2.  I can create a head band to help the audience visualize my community worker.
