After watching a video related to legacy, students will be able to
discuss the meaning of legacy and how this concept relates to their own
lives.
In small groups (and on Padlet), students will explain verbally (and in
writing) why they want to be remembered in a particular way.

Formal:
I will look through the Padlet to ensure that students have an
understanding of the legacy they want to leave and how they would like
to be remembered.
Students will be comparing and contrasting their own posts to
classmates and I will be making note of who connects to another
classmate and who notices differences.
Students will be building upon the previous days lessons by looking at how all
of the things that we do determine how people are going to remember us.
Additionally, they will be recalling information from a class read-aloud.
This lesson will allow for two different forms of communication: written and
oral. Padlet will be utilized to allow written communication. Additionally,
students are going to practice their speaking skills (and listening skills) during
whole class and small group discussions.
Students will privately and cooperatively reflect on their own actions and
determine if that is how they want to be remembered or if they want to begin to
act differently to be remembered in a better way.
Students will build upon their interpersonal skills as they discuss how they
would like to be remembered and why.
Students will be able to work on their questioning and reflecting skills in
situations related to their own life.
Students will strengthen their visual understanding skills as they try to define a
word based off a short video.
A monitor video sound to be sure that she can clearly hear.
B monitor participation in conversation by reminding ALL students that
they must speak at least once in their group discussion to ensure that he
participates at least once. Prior to the lesson, write one question on his iPad
that he must focus on and answer when contributing to the small group
discussion.
E provide with a list of 3 expectations for small group discussion and
remind him that I will be checking in on his group to make sure he is
appropriately contributing to group discussions.
A/M provide definition of legacy to them. (Also have the definition of
legacy posted in the room to remind all students of the definition)
Extension/
Enrichment
Activity
Since students will be posting a short written response on Padlet, I will try to
give as many pieces of technology as possible so that they may post
simultaneously.
Students will be participating in the Kindness Challenge alongside Count
Your Kind Acts throughout the week. The Kindness Challenge will give
students ideas for kind acts that they can do. Count Your Kind Acts is a
project that the students will be participating in as a way to visually see and
document the kind acts that they do. Each student has made a kindness
bracelet from a pipe cleaner and added seven colored beads to it; each day, they
will move over just one bead if they complete a kind act and write down what
the act was on a provided sheet. Students will earn a prize individually and, if
the whole class brings the sheet back, as a class.
In the morning as students are coming into the building, the students who are
able to get to school earlier will hold up signs in the halls reminding other
students to spread kindness wherever they go.
