Answer 2

You figure out situations where the information might be used and in what manner it might be used in a child's life. For example, in writing, children must learn to write research and persuasion papers; they must also learn to read for information and fill out applications.  One of my units this year will be to help us to choose a class pet and pick someone to be in charge of the pet's care.

The students will receive an informational packet explaining pet choices, deadlines, and application information.  I will teach researching, writing a research paper and filling out an application.  Then, students will use the information to write papers and persuasion letters about our class pet.  For students not interested in pets, I have other jobs they can fill.
