First grade lesson plan help

[Erica Payne <epayne75@YAHOO.COM>]

Hello,

I am currently a HS LMS relocating to another area of
the country.  I have an interview at an elem school
and part of the interview will be conducting a lesson
for 1st grade.  I have 2 ideas and was hoping that you
could read them and perhaps send me your opinions-
ways to improve/ it's dumb/ too hard/ to easy, etc.  I
am trying to keep it simple since I have never seen
these children before.

1.  Select a Caldecott (perhaps Officer Buckle and
Gloria).  Discuss (briefly) what a Caldecott Medal is,
what it is awarded for, etc.  I would then read the
book.  After reading the book, I was thinking of
asking them a couple of questions.  Then I would give
them paper and crayons and have them illustrate a
character or scene from the book.

2.  Fiction/ non-fiction
_Ask if they know the difference between the two.
Talk about it a little.
Take a fiction book about spring and read it to the
class.  Take a nf book and read a couple of passages.
Then discuss the differences as they relate to the
books.

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated!
Thank you!

Erica
