Florida Process Standards
Information Managers
01 Florida students locate, comprehend, interpret, evaluate, maintain, and apply information, concepts, and ideas found in literature, the arts, symbols, recordings, video and other graphic displays, and computer files in order to perform tasks and/or for enjoyment.
Effective Communicators
02 Florida students communicate in English and other languages using information, concepts, prose, symbols, reports, audio and video recordings, speeches, graphic displays, and computer-based programs.
Numeric Problem Solvers
03 Florida students use numeric operations and concepts to describe, analyze, communicate, synthesize numeric data, and to identify and solve problems.
Critical and Creative Thinkers
04 Florida students use creative thinking skills to generate new ideas, make the best decision, recognize and solve problems through reasoning, interpret symbolic data, and develop efficient techniques for lifelong learning.
Materials
-"Hokey Geokey" song (Lesson 3, Moo-vin'), Quilt word board (Lesson 2, Dancing Duo), and "Snug in the Rug" poem (Lesson 5, Snug in a Rug).
-Desks pushed back so there is room for students to move
-Recording of the tune "Hokey Pokey" if available (Ask the music teacher for a copy or if the tune can be played on a piano and recorded for use in the classroom.)
Preparations
1) Move classroom furniture aside allowing room to perform.
2) Display learning aides where students can see them.
3) Record tune of "Hokey Pokey".
Procedures
Note: Make certain all students have a turn and that a few do not dominate the activities.
1) Prior to students entering the classroom, move furniture aside. Rearrangement of the furniture will gain students' attention.
2) Ask students to spread out around the room.
Students participate in the following activities from where they stand.
*Read each word on the Quilt word board aloud for the class. (Or choose various students to read the words.)
For each word read, call on a student to give the definition or an example of it.
Formative assessment occurs as peers accept or fix the given meaning. If it needs fixing or expanding, allow the selected child to call on a friend for help.
*Read the poem. Call on individual students to identify key geometric vocabulary. (Repeat formative assessment procedures.) Read in parts, chorally, etc.
*Read the song lyrics using various oral reading strategies.
*Dance the "Hokey Geokey" as the music plays. Call on individuals, small groups, and partners to perform offering positive and corrective feedback as peers formatively assess the accuracy of the moves.
3) Call on students to share something they remember about the history of quilting, quilting as an art that reflects our cultural heritage, trade, and conservation of resources. Students can be guided to think back to Quilt Story, Ox Cart Man, and Stitch in Time. (See sample questions that have been provided with each of these lessons, Quilt Story (Lesson 6), Ox Cart Man (Lesson 10, Wanna Trade), and Stitch in Time (Lesson 11).
4) Students move furniture back in place and get ready for Lesson 13.
Assessments
Formative assessment occurs as vocabulary words are defined and redefined by students and their peers, by the accuracy of their performance of the words slide, flip, turn, congruent, by the correctness to identify keywords in the poem, and accuracy of ideas about the history and cultural value of quilts.
