<p style=”text-align: left;”>I would choose to teach a lesson on Sun and Shadows.</p>
To assess their prior knowledge, I would ask the children to take part in an interactive quiz on the IWB based on the sun
Eg: Is the sun a planet or a star?
Is the sun solid? etc
They would come up to the interactive Whiteboard individually to answer these questions and then we would discuss the answers together. We would then watch a documentary on YouTube about the sun and discuss shadows.
I would ask one child to come up to the top of the classroom and trace his/her shadow. We would then go to the yard as a whole group and I would divide the children into pairs. They would take turns tracing the outline of each other’s shadows using chalk (weather permitting). If the weather was bad, they would take turns outlining each others shadows on flip chart paper and we would create a collage of their shadows.
