Lesson Sequence:
Prior to Lesson:
1. A ‘Newsbox’ has been sent home with 3 students including instructions regarding the collection of an item from home that is significant to the child’s family history.
2. Teacher should look in the ‘Newsbox’ when the child brings it in and locate the modern item or a picture of the item for comparison later.
Lesson
1. Children sit in a circle in a small group of 6 – 8 children. The child with the ‘Newsbox’ is to show and discuss the item they have brought along. The child is encouraged to use the news telling framework of ‘Who, What, Where and When’.
2. Children within the audience are encouraged to ask questions related to the item or make comments as they relate it to their own experience.
3. The teacher should show the modern day equivalent of the item (a photograph will suffice) and ask for the children to identify and compare features of the items from the past and present.
4. The item is then placed in the ‘
5. This activity can be followed up with the group of children doing a painting, drawing or collage to show the items from the past and present.
6. Activity is repeated with another small group of children and another child sharing their ‘Newsbox’.
Here are some pictures of paintings completed after the Newsbox session.
"There's brown in the light, it was used for the train."
"The lantern and I painted the train. The lantern stopped the train"
"Mum use to turn it and get coffee. It was hard"
"A truck 'a' olden days truck"
To see how this all works in the kindy classroom, come along to the next "Hike through History: K-3" on the 5th of September. Places are limited, so make sure you visit the IPL website to register your place!
