1. Re-Introduce novel: A Land Remembered during ELA

2. After the novel is read, recap with students about content that was discussed
the day before. Such as what materials were used for houses, on average how
long did it take, etc.

C. Gourds
D. Switch
4. I will then tell students that today we will be doing chores like the Florida
Pioneers. I would explain to students that women were meant to stay home and
take care of the home and men were in charge of farming and cattle. I would
then tell students about laffy taffy and how it was made.
5. Then I will have students break into three groups and rotate into three
different centers.
6. With the help of my parent volunteers students will have the opportunity to
spend 20 minutes in each center making butter, bread, and candles.
7. I will then have students move in a clockwise direction and listen for the bell
when it is time to rotate. In each center their will be a video that ties into the
topic, these videos will teach the students about each task they are completing.
8. In the candle making center I will have my parent volunteer play the video
on candle making on the interactive white board. Students will gather the
materials and will begin molding their candles together and the parent
volunteer will be in charge of heating the candle.

9. Students will then rotate to my bread center. I will have my parent volunteer
play my video on the class Ipad, and they will show students pictures of
Pioneer bread. (ESOL 17) Provide contextual support through audio visuals,
models, demonstrations, realia, body language and facial expressions

https://safeshare.tv/x/M4pNEZfCVX8 Students will gather the materials and

will be able to make their bread.
10. In my butter making center I will run the center. I will then show students a
video on butter making https://safeshare.tv/x/ss58458fad79b36 I will explain
to students that female and children pioneers were in charge of butter making. I
will also explain the process and where they gathered their materials and how
children were only able to go to school certain days out of the year. While
making their butter I will ask students to reflect on the idea of only being able
to go to school certain times through out the year and relate their thoughts to
what it would have been like to live as a child pioneer. (ESOL 4) Link lesson
topic to students prior knowledge
Students will then be able to make their own butter using the heavy whipping
cream and the containers. Once they have made their butter they can eat it with
the crackers. If time allows students will be able to watch a reenactment video
of a child pioneer doing her chores and then going to school.

11. After students have rotated to each center they will then be required to
choose one of the chores they performed from the centers and record a
journal entry. Students will answer questions such as did you like the
chore that you did, was it fun, what materials did you need to make the
chore.
12. For homework students will be asked to create a T chart comparing
todays chores with Pioneer chores
