    Ask the students if they recognize what the students are doing (this will be a beginning of the year lesson, so they may not). What do the students know about the Pledge of Allegiance? Discuss responses. Play the video of the Pledge of Allegiance. Ask the students if they know what the words mean.

    3. Invite the students to come to the carpet.

    4. Teach the students the words to the Pledge of Allegiance and what they mean. Have the students repeat each phrase after you, stopping at a word the students may not know to define and discuss. For example, have the students repeat, I pledge allegiance, then define and discuss what pledge and allegiance mean before going on.

    5. Teach the students how they should stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Model this and explain. They should be standing, facing the flag, and placing their right hand over their heart when they say the Pledge of Allegiance. Have the students return to their seats and stand by their table. 6. Have the students repeat the Pledge of Allegiance after you three times, standing as they should. H. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? The students will stand and face the flag with their right hand over their heart and say the Pledge of Allegiance with the class. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. The students must recognize the Pledge of Allegiance. By saying the Pledge of Allegiance as a class, the students will show that they recognize the Pledge of Allegiance. I. Closure: I will close by letting the students know that we will stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance at the beginning of each day.

    J. Reflection: 1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? I think the easiest part of the lesson to teach will be how to stand, face the flag, and place their hand over their heart. I think this will be the easiest, because it can

    be modeled for the students. It is visual and they can act it out. I dont think any of the students will struggle with this. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? I think it will be hard teaching the meaning of the words in the Pledge of Allegiance. The students are pretty young still, but I think it is important for them to have an understanding of what they are saying. I think I have defined the vocabulary words in an easy way for students at this age to understand, so hopefully it wont be too difficult. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? Each morning we will stand as a class and say the Pledge of Allegiance. I will have the students repeat after me until they feel they are ready to do it without repeating. When the students are confident enough, we will invite the principal in to observe the students saying the Pledge of Allegiance. 4. What can you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? Aside from practicing the Pledge of Allegiance with the students several times, as well as revisiting it each day, Im not sure what else I can do. If I need to though, I will send a recording home with the student to practice. I will also send the words home with the students to practice with their families. 5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I might need to cut down on time. If I feel the lesson is taking too long or the students are losing interest, I will probably explain the words in the Pledge of Allegiance more briefly, as my main objective is to help the students recognize the Pledge of Allegiance. 6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part was deciding if I should teach the words first or teach the students how to stand first. I decided the students might get fidgety and not pay attention if they are standing that long. I decided it would be better to go over the words first so that the students would be ready and excited when it was time to stand and face the flag.
