<span style="font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">1) The whole class will take a field trip to Walmart, where they examine the clothing section. While in the clothing section, the students will explore various types of clothing and examine where they are produced and ultimately decide what five items of clothing they want to purchase by a majority vote. After the decision is made, the students will board the bus and travel back to school. <span style="font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">2) The teacher will engage the learner by activating prior knowledge generated from their field trip to Walmart. The teacher will also engage the students by asking questions about where they think their clothes come from, as well as if they have any idea where the majority of clothes are made. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The teacher will have a picture of the world map online, to show the general location of countries being listed by the students.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Instruction Procedures **

<span style="font-family: 'times new roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">3) After engaging the students, the students will separate and begin working in the different Learning Stations until each station is visited and the task at hand is complete. There will be no grouping for students, and they will complete each station in 25 minutes. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*LEARNING STATION-A MUST BE COMPLETED FIRST on Day 1* (Students may do Stations B, and C on Day 2 in whichever order they please)

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: 25 minutes <span style="color: #548dd4; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The purpose of this station is to acquaint students with the other countries in the world and to get an understanding of how big the world is. <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Organization <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: At this station, the students will examine the five pieces of clothing (spread out on table) purchased at Walmart the previous day. When examining, they will write down where each piece of clothing is from. The station will be comprised of two groups of 9 students, helping one another out to complete the task described below. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">//The major focus during this station will be on the Geography portion of Social Studies. The students will search through the clothing and record what country each piece of clothing comes from. The students will then use a blank word map to label and color the countries they have just recorded.// //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The map will be collected at the end of class and used for a formal assessment //
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learning station-A (Social Studies) Day 1 **

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: 25 minutes <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The purpose of this station is to familiarize the students with finding the Range, Mean, and Median, as well as helping reinforce how to find the difference and sum of numbers. <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Organization <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: At this station, the students will examine the costs of the clothing which are spread out on the table. Once done doing this, they will work together in two groups of 9, trying to figure out the difference, mean, median, sum, and range of the given numbers.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learning Station-B (Math) Day 2 **

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">The major focus during this station will be using the cost of clothing to calculate various mathematical functions. The students will begin by adding up the cost off all five pieces of clothing to figure out the sum. Once this is done, they will then write down both the least, and most expensive items purchased. Lastly, the students will analyze the different costs and figure out the mean and range of the given numbers. // //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The students will solve the problems without using a calculator, but if needed, they may ask permission and use a calculator if they are struggling // //__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Mean __////<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">- the average of the numbers // //__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Median __////<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">- the middle number in a given set // //__<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Range __////<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">- the difference between the smallest and largest number // //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">*The students mathematical work will be collected at the end of the class and used as a formal assessment //

<span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">:25 minutes <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Purpose <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The purpose of this station is to allow students to write a persuasive paragraph in relation to their thoughts on why we, as a nation, tend to participate in the importation and exportation of goods. <span style="color: #e36c0a; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Organization <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The students will write on a piece of paper at a table, or at their desk during this station. This station requires no group-work, and will have the students work individually on their paragraph. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">//The major focus of this station will be to use any previous learned knowledge about trade to write a persuasive paragraph that presents a valid argument. The students will be able to use their labeled maps to cite specific countries that help contribute to the trade industry.//
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Learning Stations-C (Language Arts) Day 2 **

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Informal //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The teacher will walk around and informally observe the students at each of the three stations, taking anecdotal notes to see if students are working cooperatively and staying on task. //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Formal //<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">: The students will be formally assessed through the teacher grading their labeled and colored in map of the countries. The students will also be assessed by having the teacher grade their completed math problems in regards to the clothing (greatest amount, least amount, sum, difference).
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Assessment **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">There will be two types of assessment for this project. (Informal and Formal)
