2. Big Ideas Content: Time is a constant, universal measurement. Inquiry: The means to understanding time is to explore the different ways and tools in which it is measured. Nature of the Field: Time is used to mark events in everyday life.

3. Enduring Outcomes Students will understand the sequence of time. Students will know the units used to measure time (Months, Weeks, Days, and Hours). Students will be able to identify the different time measurement tools and demonstrate how to use them.

4. What is Classroom Discourse? “…an enhanced form of everyday class discussions that is characterized by explicit attention to improving conceptual understanding, thinking process, creativity, communication and social skills.” (Jelinek Ch.6 Pg. 8) Simply Stated: A planned and guided classroom discussion

5. Why use Classroom Discourse? It teaches the inquiry process (5 E’s) It builds personal and social skills Students learn to think about their thinking (metacognition). It develops communication skills Students learn to listen to others and respond appropriately.

6. Thorough planning is the KEY to a successful classroom discussion.

7. When Planning Always Remember… Identify your purpose Create an engaging space Invite: Draw the students in Manage the flow Use variety Closure is key

8. Design Your Dream Day Part 1 Lesson Objective: SWBAT recognize that life would be rather chaotic without the limits of time, and understand that time constraints are necessary. Activity: Students will imagine what it would be like if they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted for a whole day. Students will create a poster with pictures of activities they would choose for their dream day.

9. Planning the Discourse Purpose: Open-ended discussion on a day without time constraints Space: Seated in a circle Invite (The Hook): “Imagine your dream day…” Flow: Questions prepared, think-pair-share, and refocus Variety: Metacognitive and attention-focusing questions Close: Restate purpose

10. Time Tools Lesson Objective: SWBAT use a calendar to explain measurement of time. Activity: SW participate in circle time activities and engage in discussion about the calendar.

11. Planning the Discourse Purpose: Guided discussion about the calendar Space: Seated in a circle Invite (The Hook): Sing “Days of the Week” song Flow: Questions prepared, wait time, and non- verbal signals Variety: Action and Measuring and counting questions Close: Restate how and why the calendar is used

12. Morning, Noon, and Night Lesson Objective: Students will be able to show and explain what life events happen in the morning, afternoon, and at night. Activity: o Class discussion and chart on what activities happen in the morning, afternoon, and at night. o Students will draw a picture of an event they do in the morning, afternoon, and night. o They will explain each picture to the instructor orally while the instructor writes their explanations on the bottom of each picture.

13. Planning the Discourse Purpose: Guided discussion Space: Seated on the floor Invite (The Hook): “Who thinks they can tell me something that happens in the morning… afternoon… at night?” Flow: Summarize, group or partner share, and refocus Variety: Attention-focusing, comparison, and reasoning questions Close: Review morning, noon, and night chart

14. Time Schedule Lesson Objective: By the end of the unit students will be able to apply their knowledge of time by designing their own daily schedule and comparing it to another student’s schedule. Activity: o Students will be given variety of pictures and digital times. Students will choose what pictures occur during their day and glue them in the order that they occur within their day. o Students will then work in pairs to compare their schedules and identify what is the same, different and why. o The pairs will share the comparisons with the instructor orally.

15. Planning the Discourse Purpose: Open ended dialogue between students Space: Students will be seated in pairs at their desks Invite (The Hook): “Have you ever seen a grown-up write on their calendar? Today we are going to do a grown-up activity and build our own schedules” Flow: Model, Exploration, Discuss, Report and Regroup Variety: Comparison and reasoning questions Close: Reflect on how each persons schedule differs

16. Telling Time - Lesson Objective: Students will show time by using clocks and will demonstrate examples of time. - Activity:Teacher will show different pictures of clocks. (Visual aid for ELL students) Teacher will guide them to create own clock with materials provided by teacher. (mini-lesson on long- hand=minutes, short hand= hour) Students will have a partner to discuss time and discuss their understanding about their time events of their day. They will share with class in a circle and demonstrate their day through time.

17. Planning the Discourse - Purpose: Open ended dialogue with some guided discussion with students. Space: Seated in a circle on carpet. Invite: ("The Hook") Touch Prior Knowlegde: Who can tell me why people may use clocks, time? Flow: Model, Discuss, Think- Pair- Share Variety: Reasoning questions, measuring Close: Summarize their findings on "The Hook" question.
