Integration Lesson for Social Studies and Language Arts (2nd Grade)
This artifact is an integration lesson for social studies and language arts that I taught to second grade students during my Junior Block placement at Taylor Elementary in Columbia, Pennsylvania. I created and taught a lesson on sequencing main events in a story and physical characteristics of countries and states. The lesson included a read-aloud, open-ended questions, and an activity that incorporated the information presented in the read aloud. As the teacher, I made sure all the students were getting involved and engaged in the lesson, varying the presentation of the concepts: read aloud, teach-pair-share, and student work at the front carpet and at their seats. This lesson demonstrated using question and discussion techniques, actively engaging students, and the students' answers during the T-chart activity provided feedback on if they understood the main concepts of the lesson.

Below you will find pictures that were taken while I was teaching this lesson.
