Bald Eagle
Grade Level: 1
Curricular Area: Social Studies
Standards:
1.) Students will recognize the symbols, songs, locations that uniquely identify our nation.
Objectives:
1.) The students will recognize the Bald Eagle as a significant symbol of our nation.
2.) The students will pick one fact and put their United States symbols book.
Materials:
- The Bald Eagle Book
- Model for the Board
- Transparency of the facts with a hard copy
- Writing page transparency
- Overhead Marker
- Student Symbol Books
Procedures:
1.) Have the students meet on the meeting spot.
2.) Review yesterday's symbol.
3.) Read The Bald Eagle book.
4.) Have students go back to their desks.
5.) On the overhead, show them the facts, and read each one to them.
6.) Use a writing transparency to show the students how to write one of the facts. ( Remind them that their tall letters need to be tall and their short letters need to short. The first letter in your sentence should be capitalized and that your sentence should end in a period.)
7.) Put facts back on the overhead.
8.) Pass out their books.
9.) have them get started. ( Circulate and check progress and help students who may need help. The students must show me their writing before they can color the picture)
10.) When they are done I will take their books.
Assessment:
- Can the students recognize the Bald Eagle as an important symbol and can the students correctly write a fact? I will assess this by having the students give me their book, and I will review it. Also, I will assess this when the students show me their writing before they color. I will look at their writing and say it is okay or give suggestions on how to fix it.

Think about the word "important" what criteria do we use to determine if something is "important" . We often use subjective words in our conversations but when we are thinking about assessment we need to be sure that our words are descriptive enough to be assessable.
