The Finding Friends unit highlights friendship, finding friends, how friends act, how to be a good friend, and how to resolve problems. In this unit, students will demonstrate their understanding of the concept of finding friends, as well as their knowledge of the literacy standards. Students will be working on skills such as making connections, predicting, and identifying theme.
Friend Interviews - Unit Introduction
Using a cooperaltive learning strategy, like Mix Pair Share, allow students to get to know each other. After students have found their partner, the interview process can begin. In the interview, each student will ask 3 their partner questions. These questions can be teacher directed or student created. Students will take turns asking their partners questions in order to learn more about them. Use the “My Friend” response sheet for students to record what they learn. In each circle students will draw their partners response to the interview questions.
Before using Shadow Puppet with your students, you may want to watch the Shadow Puppet Edu tutorial.
Be sure to model this process for students before students are expected to participate in this activity. The teacher and the assistant can model all of the steps that we have listed so far. Conduct the interview with one another and complete the response sheet. Model for students how to create the presentation using Shadow Puppet Edu incorporating the interview data. This task card can be used with students while they are working independent of the teacher.
