Three Forty-Five Minute Class Periods
The learner will:
Anticipatory Set:
Read aloud an article from your local newspaper that honors or recognizes a volunteer from your community. Ask the students why this person is being recognized.
Day Two:
Teacher Prep: Take a digital photo of each student and put the photos on 3-½ floppy diskettes with each student’s name on one. The photos should be taken at close range, generating a photo of the student’s head and face. These 3-½ floppy diskettes should also have the blank slide template for the PowerPoint program. Teachers should keep all of the disks for the next day’s activities.
Day Three:
Teachers will evaluate the students understanding of the terms volunteer and paid labor by reviewing each student’s Venn diagram (Attachment One). The PowerPoint slides will be evaluated when the diskettes are turned in to the teacher and reviewed. The Checklist for Slide Template (Attachment Four) can be used as a rubric for evaluating each student’s slide.
Show the finished slide show to other classes or parents.
