| Stage | Activities | Time | Adaptation for 1st Grade |
|---|---|---|---|
| Present | Pose initial reflection about classroom objects and questions | 15 min | Use simple language and visual aids (images, real objects). Encourage sharing. |
| Collect | Gather students' prior knowledge about classroom objects | 10 min | Conduct a group chat, use pictures and real objects for better understanding. |
| Formulate | Clearly define the problem (e.g., "Let's learn about classroom objects!") | 10 min | Use simple language, visuals, and examples to guide understanding. |
| Organize | Form teams, assign tasks, plan activities | 15 min | Create small groups with mixed abilities, assign simple tasks (drawing, sorting). |
| Build | Execute strategies: identify objects, ask questions, create a classroom object chart | 30 min | Hands-on activities: sorting objects, asking questions, drawing, and labeling. |
| Verify and Analyze | Evaluate learned concepts, check understanding | 15 min | Use oral questions, matching games, and visual quizzes. |
| Share | Present and reflect on what was learned | 15 min | Students share their drawings, ask questions, and discuss their discoveries. |
| Stage | Description | Activities | Materials | Time | Notes for Adaptation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Present | Reflection on classroom objects and questions | - Teacher asks: "What do you see in our classroom?"<br>- Show pictures of classroom objects (desk, chair, book, pencil).<br>- Ask: "Have you seen this? Do you use it?" | Pictures, real objects | 15 min | Use simple language, gestures, and visuals to engage students. |
| Collect | Prior knowledge about objects and questions | - Students name objects they know.<br>- Discuss their functions.<br>- Use a questioning circle (“What is this?”). | Visual aids, objects | 10 min | Encourage all students to participate; use gestures for understanding. |
| Formulate | Define the problem — what will we learn? | - Teacher states: “Today, we will learn about classroom objects and ask questions about them.”<br>- Use a large poster with the problem statement. | Poster, images | 10 min | Keep language simple; reinforce with pictures. |
| Organize | Group students, assign tasks | - Divide into small groups (3-4 students).<br>- Tasks: identify objects, draw, ask questions.<br>- Provide templates for drawing. | Paper, crayons, objects | 15 min | Ensure inclusion; assign roles (drawer, questioner, presenter). |
| Build | Hands-on exploration and activities | - Groups identify classroom objects.<br>- Practice asking questions using “Is it?” (“Is it yellow?”)<br>- Count objects (“How many pencils?”).<br>- Create a classroom object chart with drawings and labels. | Classroom objects, drawing materials, question prompts | 30 min | Use real objects and pictures to support understanding. |
| Verify and Analyze | Check understanding | - Oral quiz: “What color is this?”<br>- Match objects to colors and numbers.<br>- Play a game: "Find the object that is...". | Flashcards, objects | 15 min | Use visual and physical interaction to verify comprehension. |
| Share | Present and reflect | - Each group shows their chart.<br>- Students ask questions about classmates’ charts.<br>- Reflect: “What did you learn today?” | Student work, questions | 15 min | Foster a positive sharing environment, praise participation. |
| Inclusion Strategies | - Use visuals, real objects, and gestures.<br>- Encourage participation from all students regardless of ability.<br>- Use peer support and group activities. | |
|---|---|---|
| Arts & Aesthetic Experiences | - Create colorful drawings of classroom objects.<br>- Design and decorate the classroom object chart with artistic elements.<br>- Use arts to express understanding (drawing, collages). | Art supplies, coloring materials, stickers |
| Activity | Objective | Expected Outcome | Materials | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visual exploration of classroom objects | Recognize and name objects | Students identify objects in the classroom | Pictures, real objects | 15 min |
| Question practice (“Is it?”) | Form questions and answers | Students ask and answer questions about objects | Question prompt cards | 15 min |
| Counting objects (“How many?”) | Use numbers in context | Count objects and answer “How many?” | Objects, counting charts | 15 min |
| Draw and label classroom objects | Express understanding creatively | Drawings with labels | Paper, crayons | 20 min |
| Create classroom object chart | Synthesize learning | Visual display of objects, colors, numbers | Chart paper, markers | 15 min |
| Sharing and reflection | Reinforce learning | Students share and discuss | Student work | 15 min |
This comprehensive plan aligns with the problem-based approach, emphasizing student inquiry, collaboration, and creative expression, adapted meticulously for 1st-grade learners.
