Wants vs. Needs
Wants vs. Needs
Wants vs. Needs
Grade 1
Introduction
Materials
~ 5 NEED/WANT Signs
Conclusion
Wrap up the activity with some quiet time for the students to
reflect on what they have learned in their journals. Have them
draw images of needs and wants that they have learned about
in the lesson.
Adaptations
If your students cannot read strongly then use images with the
words but once they are able to read use only words. This will
help with associating words with images and also letter
recognition. Also make sure you are reading each object out
loud so students not only can hear the word if they cannot see
but also to help with pronunciation.
Assessment
Have students draw wants and needs in their journal. Evaluate
their understanding by what they represented in their drawings.
Base the learning assessment on what images they drew and
Wants vs. Needs
whether or not the images fit the definitions given in the lesson.
