Educational Project Plan: Introducing Basic Actions in the Classroom (1st Grade)

Component	Details
Project Name	Introducing Basic Actions
Academic Grade	1st Grade (Primary)
Main Issue	Students need to recognize and use basic actions (e.g., sit, stand, walk, jump, run) in the classroom.
Scenario	Classroom environment
Teaching Methodology	Problem-Based Learning (PBL)
Articulating Axis	Healthy Living

Overview of the PBL Framework

Stage	Suggested Time	Activities and Adaptations	Purpose
Present	15 minutes	Question: "What do we do when we are in the classroom?"<br>- Show pictures of children performing actions (sitting, standing, jumping, etc.).<br>- Encourage students to share what actions they know.	Stimulate initial thinking and activate prior knowledge.
Collect	20 minutes	Activity: Students brainstorm and share actions they observe or do in class.<br>- Use a chart to list actions students mention.<br>- Teacher records responses visually for visual learners.	Gather students' existing knowledge about basic actions.
Formulate	10 minutes	Discussion: Define the problem: "We want to learn the names of actions so we can use them in class."	Clarify the learning goal and focus students' attention on the task.
Organize	15 minutes	Team Formation: Divide students into small groups (3-4 students).<br>- Assign roles (leader, recorder, speaker).<br>- Plan activities to learn and practice actions.	Foster teamwork and organize resources and strategies.
Build	30 minutes	Activities:<br>- Action Charades: Students act out actions while others guess.<br>- Action Songs: Sing simple songs incorporating actions (e.g., "If you're happy and you know it").<br>- Role-play: Practice classroom scenarios using actions (e.g., "Please sit," "Stand up").	Engage students actively in practicing actions, reinforcing vocabulary through kinesthetic learning.
Verify and Analyze	15 minutes	Assessment:<br>- Observation during activities.<br>- Students demonstrate actions on command.<br>- Peer feedback and teacher observation.<br>- Use a simple checklist to record correct actions.	Evaluate understanding and correct usage of actions.
Share	15 minutes	Reflection:<br>- Students share what actions they learned.<br>- Class discussion: "Why are these actions important for us?"<br>- Create a visual poster with the actions learned.	Socialize learning, reinforce vocabulary, and foster pride in achievement.

Additional Notes for Adaptation to 1st Grade:

Use colorful visuals and real object demonstrations for actions.

Incorporate movement-based activities to match their energy and developmental level.

Simplify language and instructions, ensuring clarity.

Provide positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the activities.

Summary:
This PBL-based educational project encourages active participation, teamwork, and kinesthetic learning to help 1st-grade students recognize and use basic actions, contributing to their healthy living and classroom behavior. The structured stages allow gradual building of knowledge, practical application, and reflection, making learning engaging and effective.
