Idaho History Missionaries

Grade: 4

*This is a lesson I taught as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching internship.

1. Using the provided textbook, as well as the power point presentation (Integrating Technology), read and discuss the information about the missionaries that came to Idaho.

 

2. As you read, fill in the graphic organizer with as many details as possible.

3. Review and check for understanding.

4. Give each student a piece of construction paper and the picture with the state outline and missionary logo. Have the students fold the construction paper into a brochure and decorate the front as desired. (Integrating Art).

 

5. Now give each student a picture page of all the missionaries and scraps of construction paper. Have the students glue pictures to rectangles of paper, write the missionaries names, then write a description of each missionary.

   

*For below-level students, allow them to write shorter descriptions. Have correct spellings of names available.

Idaho History Missionary Glyph

Grade: 4

*This is a lesson I taught to fourth grade students as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching internship.

1. Give each student a question sheet. Have them read and answer each question.

2. Next, give each student an Idaho sheet. Have each student follow the directions next to their circled answer on the question sheet in order to color the IDAHO letters.

* Make sure to read the questions and directions with below-level readers and check for understanding.

Idaho History ‘I have, Who has?’

Grade: 4

*This is a lesson I taught to fourth grade students as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching internship.

1. Students will play an ‘I have, Who has’ game.  Divide the cards among students. Then have the person with the first card go first. They ask the ‘who has’ question, then the person with the answer to that says the ‘I have’ part, then asks the question on their card. The game continues in this manner until they get to the last card.

* I had below-level readers partner with above-level readers to help read their cards and make sure they are staying with the game.

Idaho Missionary Challenge Game

Grade: 4

*This is a review activity I made and had the students complete as part of an instructional sequence during my student teaching internship.

1. Make sure to schedule the computer lab ahead of time. Also, load this power point game onto each computer, and make sure it works before the students arrive.

2. Have each student complete this review activity about the missionaries that came to Idaho. Each slide on the power point has a question and possible answers. The students click on an answer and the computer will tell them if they are correct or incorrect. (Incorporation of Technology).

Here’s an example of some of the slides:

*Make sure to read the question with below-level readers whenever possible.
