These materials will help with many projects in class which will include comprehending the stories we read in class. Groups will build different parts of setting and scenes that correlate to our class story of the week. This will help them model sequence of events, help students find adjectives and verbs in the story to correlate with their build, help with comprehension of the story and learning to work as a team. These LEGO will also help with their narrative, informational, and persuasive writing prompts through the year. Oklahoma standards for 5th grade are required to learn several different types of writing and identifying stories, I would like to use these legos to bring our writing to life. Our narrative writing in class includes an outline where students are using their imagination to create characters, setting, and a plot charts that help the students learn about rising and falling action. Some students really struggle with coming up with characters without a visual. I would like to do a project where students build their own scenes and characters doing something then write me a story using Narrative writing to tell me about the scene they have just built. This will also help the student to focus on adjectives they can use in their writing like colors and facial expressions that the LEGO can provide with these particular sets ordered. I would also like to use them with is our persuasive writing paper. Students will build a product they might need on a island: imaginary or real. The writing prompt will then consist of students trying to persuade their peers on why their product would be the best to have on the island with them. Students will then tour the class looking at each product and persuasive paragraph and choose their top 3.
