notes to make into a plan Annie! DAY 1 -students brainstorm the things that they find in a neighborhood they would like to live in -make an anchor chart of the things that students mention -students go back to draw a neighborhood they would want to live with. -students do this in pencil only - it's a sketch. they must label all of the things in their neighborhood DAY 2 -talk about what the difference is between a want and a need -a "need" is something that you can't live without or would be very difficult to live without -a "want" is something that would be nice to live with but you don't need it... your life would not be hard without a "want" -ask them what category they think the following things go in - wants or needs: a hospital, chez vous, and a school -brainstorm some wants and needs before you send students off -students go back to label their work with a pen. they draw a W with a circle around it for a want, and an N with a circle around it for a need... -come back to the rug during the last 20 minutes and do an anchor chart - one with the wants and one with the needs
