The Social Studies aspect of the Change unit will cover the changes felt during Colonial Life. Throughout the historical glimpse of early American life, students will

explore important events that shaped and transformed our American culture. As we travel

from the first formation of settlements to the unification of the United States,

students will learn about how Colonists lived, worked, and learned.

Unit Summary- Language Arts

The Reading portion of the change unit will encompass the readings of three texts, The Tiny Seed, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, and A Harbor Seal Pup Grows Up. Through reading these texts the students will gain experience of the changes that seeds and animals go through, along with learning about the literature skills of compare and contrast and sequence of events. Through literature based activities students will gain an understanding of the changes that occur during texts (sequence of events), along with changes that happen in the real world (life cycles).

The writing portion of the change unit will consist of the students creating two expository writings on the stages of a plants life cycle and the growth of a butterfly. Through these writing the students will gain an understanding of the writing process, along with demonstrating their knowledge of change through the lifecycles of a plant and butterfly. Change will be learned and demonstrated through writing by the expository writings showing the changes that occur throughout life cycles, along with students learning and completing changes throughout the writing process.

Sunshine State StandardsSocial Studies: SS.2.A.2.4: Explore ways the daily life of people living in Colonial America changed over time.

Language Arts:LA.2.1.7.5: The student will identify the text structure an author uses (e.g., comparison/contrast, cause/effect, and sequence of events) and explain how it impacts meaning in textLA.2.1.7.7: The student will compare and contrast characters and settings in one textLA.2.4.2.1: The student will write in a variety of informational/expository forms (e.g., rules, summaries, procedures, recipes, notes/messages, labels, instructions, graphs/tables) LA.2.4.2.3: The student will write informational/expository paragraphs that contain a topic sentence, supporting details, and relevant information

Science:SC.F.1.1.3 The student describes how organisms change as they grow and mature.

Math: MA.2.G.5.3: Identify, combine, and compare values of money in cents up to $1.00 and in dollars up to $100, working with a single unit of currency. MA.2.A.6.1: Solve problems that involve repeated addition.

Grade Level ExpectationsSocial Studies: History• extends and refines understanding of changes in community life over time (for

example, goods and services, architecture, landscape).

• knows ways technology changes how people in a community live (for example, advances in communication, transportation).

• extends and refines understanding that history tells the story of people and events of other times and places.

• understands the movements of people called migration or immigration.

• knows ways trade helps families in different places meet their basic needs of clothing, food, and shelter.

Grade Level Expectations• Language Arts:• Reading• understands similarities and differences across texts• extends previously learned knowledge and skills of the first grade with increasingly complex

texts, assignments and tasks (for example, story structure, characters, setting, plot, problems and solutions).

• understands connections between characters and events in literature and people, events, and experiences in own life.

• makes connections and inferences based on text and prior knowledge (for example, order of events, possible outcomes).

• summarizes information in texts • Writing• generates ideas before writing on self-selected topics and assigned tasks. • makes a plan before writing the first draft (for example, drawing pictures, using graphic

organizers). • focuses on a central idea and groups related ideas. • uses one or more paragraphs to focus on separate ideas in writing and uses transition words

where appropriate. • extends previously learned writing knowledge and skills of the first grade with increasingly

complex texts and assignments and tasks. • uses strategies to support ideas in writing (including but not limited to using several

sentences to elaborate upon an idea; using specific word choice and relevant details such as reasons or examples).
