My Body

Explicit instruction/Teacher modeling

• Review body parts with the students. Go over parts that you feel weren't gone over in the body part song.
• Introduce the body tracing activity to the students.

Guided practice/Interactive modeling

• Have a student trace you on a piece of paper and help you label your body parts.
• Display you outline and review each body part—head , arms, legs, chest, hands, and feet—with the students.

Independent working time

• Have students work in pairs and trace each other.
• Once they have traced each other, have them label their bodies.

• Enrichment: Have advanced students use the backs of their worksheets to write descriptions for what each body part does.
• Support: Give struggling students one-on-one assistance with identifying the different body parts.

• Have students complete the Your Body worksheet.
• Collect the worksheet once they're done working. Review it to assess their understanding.

• Display students' work on the walls of the classroom.
