LESSON RATIONALE
This lesson is important because it teaches my students that it is important to listen to others and hear other people’s
ideas and to see how listening to one another can create a sense of belonging.

D. Procedure: The anticipatory set will be at our desks where I will act out a scenario. During instruction/activity,
the teacher will be around the students leading and enforcing the activity. Students will try to solve the task on
their own without teacher help if possible. Afterwards, students will discuss with the class what they learned.
Throughout the year, if a conflict arises, I will ask my students if they listened to the other person’s side of the story and
continuously remind them to listen to their peers as that is the best way to work out our problems whether it be problems
at school or at home.
