Objectives:

The learner will:

  • be able to demonstrate chronological order related to experiences they have had with philanthropy.
  • use the terms "first," "next," and "last" in the timeline.

Service Experience:

Although this lesson contains a service project example, decisions about service plans and implementation should be made by students, as age appropriate.

First, Next, Last Timeline

Instructional Procedure(s):

Anticipatory Set:
Hold up the words FIRST, NEXT, and LAST and ask the students what they say, and what they mean. Discussion will lead into the lesson.

  • Discuss with class some activities that individuals have done for the good of others. Explain how students are doing philanthropy.
  • Help each student make a list of philanthropic activities that they have performed.
  • In a class discussion, students talk about the differences between the chronological terms: first, next, and last.
  • Students should then decide which activities from their list they would like to put on their personal timeline.
  • Help students with proper spelling as they write their activity on the timeline.
  • Suggest that students can enhance their timelines with an illustration.
  • Students will then share their timelines with each other.
  • They can then be displayed in the room next to the class timeline.

Assessment:

Determine students' ability for sequencing of first, next, and last based on the student timelines. In addition, when students share their work, teacher can assess for understanding.
