Lesson Plan

George Washington: Inflectional Endings:

This is lesson #3 in the text unit series for George Washington by Philip Abraham, focusing on pages 6, and 12-18. In this lesson, students will identify common inflections on targeted words that relate to why George Washington is recognized as an individual that represents the United States. Building upon previous lessons, students will use words that contain inflections that change a word from present tense to past tense to further understand why George Washington is a historical figure that represents the United States.

During this unit, students will use the text, George Washington, to explain how George Washington is an individual that represents our country, how he demonstrated patriotism, and a responsible citizenship. Students will engage in a read aloud spread out over several lessons emphasizing vocabulary, text features, and identifying relevant details the central idea of the text, George Washington. In addition, students will write expository texts that explain why George Washington is recognized as a national symbol/individual and opinion texts identifying characteristics of a responsible citizen.
