Module 8 Activity by Kimberly Davis https://padlet.com/kimteach9/qfaxzztlsdx4 Reflecting on Concept-Based Lesson Feedback en-us 2018-11-28 03:27:04 UTC 2026-03-02 21:32:53 UTC hello@padlet.com Lesson Summary kimteach9 https://padlet.com/kimteach9/qfaxzztlsdx4/wish/308620128 The Concept-Based lesson that designed and then implemented was for a kindergarten class with the purpose of identifying needs and wants of people and how those have changed over time. Students were introduced to the concept of needs and wants through the reading of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Norma Numeroff. I emphasized each time the mouse wanted something then we discussed whether or not those wants were needs. We then identified the needs of a mouse. We then compared those needs to the needs of a person. From there we created a T-chart of needs and wants. Students help to identify needs and wants typical of themselves. I while making the whole group chart I modeled the thinking process of deciding on a need from a want. We then moved to small group. Students had been learning about the Pilgrims and Native Americans of the First Thanksgiving. I build upon that and had students sort wants from need for those people of the past. While sorting we discussed how wants had changed over time and how many of their needs were similar to those of people living today.

·         SWBAT compare and contrast their own needs and wants with those of the people that lived during the First Thanksgiving.

Student: “Yes!”

Myself: “Why?”

Student: “Because we need to drink and milk is healthy.”

Myself: “Can we survive by only drinking water or do we have to have milk to survive?”

Student: “No, I guess we just want milk.” 

Hypothetical Feedback:

I could have said, “I like how you are thinking about things we need to be healthy, can you think of other items we need to stay healthy?”

“When thinking about a need can you ask yourself if you have to have that item to live?”

Or, “You make a good point we need to drink healthy things to stay healthy, can you think of something even healthier we all need to live? There are people that can’t drink milk and they are still living do they need milk to survive?”

We had just got done discussing how the people from the past would have liked to have a grocery store; a want. 

Myself: “Do we need a grocery store to get our food?”

Student 1: “Yes!”

Student 2: “No! We can hunt.”

Myself: “What about other food you can’t hunt for?” 

Student 1: “We can grow a garden.”

Student 2: “We want a grocery store.” 

Hypothetical Feedback: 

Student 1: 

Once student 2 said that we only wanted a grocery store I could have gone back to student 1 and said, know if a thing is a want or a need?” 

“Is there a question you can ask yourself to help you figure out a need from a want?” 

Student 2: 

I could have said, “You are really making wonderful connections with how the Pilgrims and Native Americans lived and how we can live today. You are correct that we can hunt for our food. Can you think of other ways we can get our food?”

Student: “[They] needed those clothes so they could grow their food and hunt.” 

Hypothetical Feedback:

This student met the objective. To help this student grow beyond this point I could have asked them to think about even more basic needs the Pilgrims in the illustration had. Did they even need all of those clothing? Do we need all of the clothing that we wear? 

I could have also gone in a different direction. I could have said, “You mentioned growing food. Do plants need things/want things?”
