**RESOURCE: The Wizard of Oz Chapter 1** //Using a chapter of a book can always make kids want to read a little more. While Wizard of Oz might be above the first grade reading level, they might remember it later. This chapter, if read aloud could be used to ask the following questions (and similar ones:) Has Dorothy's family lived there a long time? What is Dorothy's family like? Is your family like Dorothy's or not? Why? This hits Reading Standard for Literature 1. Recalling the characters, setting, and events listed will hit Reading Standard 3. A discussion on word choice (how they convey mood) would hit Standard 4.Writing about some of these things could hit Writing Standard 3.// //With first grade Social Studies MC3 units being focused around Families and Schools, this is applicable.//
 * //1 - G4.0.1: //Use components of culture (e.g., foods, language, religion, traditions) to describe diversity in family life//.// **

**RESOURCE: School Rules** //The resource above are general first grade class rules developed by a teacher. One strategy would be to begin by asking students why we have rules in school and creating a list on the board. From there, use your own classroom rules and this handout to: Identify the connection between the two lists (What is alike and similar) CCRS Informational Text standard 3, and IT Standard 9. Extend with a writing piece (CCRS Writing 2) where they talk about why we have rules in a classroom.//
 * //1 - C1.0.1: //Identify some reasons for rules in school (e.g., provide order, predictability, and safety). **

//The free workbook would not be used in its full form, however, each story has a subheading "Educational Value" There are several on responsibility and rules. Having students read along and then retell the major events in the story, as well as identifying the message would hit Reading Standard 1. Describing setting, characters, and major events would hit Reading Standard 2. //
 * //1 - C5.0.1: //Describe some responsibilities people have at home and at school (e.g., taking care of oneself, respect for the rights of others, following rules, getting along with others). **

//This complete plan covers wants and needs, the ways in which families consume goods and services, how goods are produced, etc. Using any of the individual parts of this resource would hit upon multiple GLCE.
