Character interview gives opportunity to inquire and clarify…

Why are you barefoot?

How far have you travelled?

Why do you have a pot on your head?

Do you have a family?

Why do you plant apple trees?

2.3.1 Connect understanding to the real world.

Tables behind Johnny have variety of apples displayed an and labeled, selection of books, and U.S.A. map.

The map was used to show the route Johnny travelled in planting apple seedlings across the U.S.A.

4.4.6 Evaluate own ability to select resources that are engaging and appropriate for personal interests and needs. Clock cabinet has books relating to apples and Johnny Appleseed for students to discover

Trunk has items made from apples, i.e. apple butter, applesauce, apple vinegar, pickles (made with apple vinegar), apple chips, candy covered apple.

Note: This Special Education class is limited to 30 minutes so the clock cabinet and trunk were shown but not discussed at length. Other 45 minute classes used these props to a greater extent.

2.1.3 Use strategies to draw conclusions from information and apply knowledge to curricular areas, real world situations, and further investigations.

Johnny gives students a choice of red or golden delicious apples. Students tell Johnny how many slices they will need from one apple for each student to get a slice.

Johnny slices apple in equal number of pieces for students to taste.

2.3.1 Connect understanding to the real world.

Johnny shows the apple seed inside the sliced apple and explains how the seed eventually becomes a tree.

1.1.6 View and listen for information in order to make inferences and gather meaning.

I demonstrate Apple Dumpling recipe using measuring, math, knowledge of kitchen tools and safety. We discuss working in the kitchen at home and allow them to bring their experiences into the conversation.

3.2.2 Show social responsibility by participating actively with others in learning situations and contributing ideas during group discussions.

Students signing ingredients with me and telling how they use ingredients in other ways.
