Jobs That Earn Income

First Grade 

30 Min 

Standard: Students explain how people in the school and community use goods and services and make choices as both producers and consumers.

SS 1.4.3 Compare and contrast different jobs people do to earn income.

Lesson Objective: Students will determine that people work jobs to earn income and differentiate between several jobs. (Analysis)  

Materials:

·      White paper

·      Crayons/ markers/ pencils

·      Income definition written down

·      White board and dry erase markers

·      Community jobs posters

·      Community Jobs books

Motivation: Quick draw- the teacher will pass out white paper. When you hear the work job what do you think of? The students will have two minutes to draw or write what they think of. The teacher will walk around and look at the students work during that minute to see what the students already know. (Advance organizer). The teacher will then have the students place that paper in their chair pocket so that it can be accessible later.

Goal for learner: Today we are going to learn about income and different jobs people do to earn income.

Procedure:

New Information: Raise your hand if you have ever heard the word income. It looks like many (or some) of us have heard this word before. Income is money someone receives for working. (Teacher will have the definition written down so the students can see the word and read its meaning.) It is important for people in the community to make money. People need money to buy food and clothes and pay for a place to live. There are many ways that people can earn income. Jobs are very important because they give people income. What job do you think I will do to earn money? Teaching! Can you give me an example of a job that people do to earn income? The teacher will get responses from five students. Today, we are going to learn about these jobs. The teacher will magnet the job cards for teacher, mail person, dentist, farmer, and baker to the whiteboard. When people work all of these jobs they provide goods or services to others. It is important to know what the people who work different jobs do.

Modeling: The teacher will point to the teacher card up on the board. I am a teacher. There are many things teachers have to do. We teach students, grade papers, and we help students learn.

Guided Practice: The students will write on the back of the sheet they did their quick write on. They will write down their favorite job and write what a person would do in that job. If they do not know, they may talk with a person next to them. Cooperative Learning. The teacher will also remind students that all of these jobs are jobs that people work to earn income.  

Check for Understanding:

·      How are all these jobs related? (analysis)

·      How are the jobs different? (comprehension)

·      What is it called when you earn money to help pay for your house, clothes, and other things you need or want? (knowledge)

Practice Application: Students will create a community jobs booklet. The students will write on the line “I see” the name of the job depicted. On the “They” line the students will write what a person who works that job does. On the final page, students will answer what their favorite job is and what jobs are important. Then the students can draw a picture of their favorite job.

Instructional Strategy: Cooperative Learning and Advance organizer.

Accommodations:

Low Ability: I will read the pages of the book with the students if they struggle with reading. I can help students spell words they are unsure of.

High Ability: Once the students are finished with the book, they will write a list of other jobs on the back of the book. All students will be told that once they finish they will do this, but not all students will have time to.

Closure: Today, we learned about different jobs that people work to earn income. We talked about teachers, mail people, bakers, farmers, and dentists. It is important to know about different jobs that earn income so that we can think about what types of jobs we would like to have.

Evaluation: The completion of the book “Community Jobs” will be the evaluation.

Student name	Students fill out 1-2 pages correctly (reteach lesson)	Students fill out 3-4 pages correctly (basic)	Students fill out 5-7 pages correctly (Mastery)

Extension: The students will be paired up and share their final page of the Community Jobs book with a partner. The partner will be the person next to them.
