To start this lesson, I read a book about the president's job. Then, they used their new knowledge from the book as well as prior knowledge from social studies to launch them into their writing. I had each student use the "If I could be president..." sentence starter and write about what he or she would do as president. THEN, **drumroll** they got president makeovers! I can't decide what I enjoyed the most...reading about what they would do as presidents or seeing them as first grader George Washingtons!
What would a 1st grader president do?
ReplyDeleteI love the title by the way!
Thank you! It really is interesting to read what a first grader would do as president!
