Use graphic organizers to help classify and categorize information. Preview the Skill (p. 136) Identify ways you classify things every day, such as books by their subject or age level or crayons by their color. Identify different ways information can be classified that relates to history or social studies. Discuss how a Venn Diagram or a two-column chart can help students organize and classify information into groups. Closing Product/ Question/ Informal Assessment: Rigor & Relevance (p.). Practice the Skill (p. 136) Turn to the skill pages in the Worktext. Have students read the introductory text and the sample text about the jobs of people in the Jamestown settlement. How did the author classify and categorize the duties at Jamestown? How else could the information be classified or categorized? Try It (p.137) Remind students that when they classify and categorize, they should consider how two things are alike and how they are different. Students are to answer questions 1-3 independently and then compare their answers in small groups.

8 Engage Explore Explain Elaborate Evaluate Preview the Skill (p.136) Ask students to explain what it means to classify and categorize things. Inform them that they are going to learn how to classify and categorize information as well as use graphic organizers in order to do so. Students will respond to the following: Identify ways you classify things every day, such as books by their subject or age level or crayons by their color. Identify different ways information can be classified that relates to history or social studies. Discuss how a Venn Diagram or a two-column chart can help students organize and classify information into groups. Classify and Categorize (p.136) When we classify and categorize information or things, we arrange them based on the features they share. We might also classify and categorize them based on how difficult they are. We can classify and categorize information or things based on two or more categories, or groups. When we think about two or more topics, we arrange them by their characteristics so we can tell them apart. Instruct students to read the passage on page 136 about Duties at Jamestown. Remind them to look for the ways the characteristics of each group were classified or categorized. Guide students through this activity in order to classify and categorize the duties of the men and women of Jamestown. Practice the Skill (p. 136). Ask students to study the graphic organizer on page 136 about the duties of the men and women of Jamestown. Instruction is then differentiated to meet the varied needs of students as follows: Special Needs: Provide students with four different writing instruments, including two crayons of different colors. Ask students to classify the instruments. Then challenge them to classify them in a different way. Extra Support: On-Level: After students read about the duties of people at Jamestown, have them think about the duties of people in their family. Ask them to make a chart similar to the one about duties at Jamestown to indicate the jobs of children and adults in their household. Invite students to write a paragraph to explain what it means to classify and categorize. Their paragraph should include an example of classifying and categorizing. Challenge/Gifted: Ask students to work in pairs to review their answers to the Try It! Questions. They should compare with their partner any other possible ways the information could be sorted. After students learn about classifying and categorizing, use the ELPS support note on page 128b to help the English Language Learners. ELPS Strategy 3.D.1 Help students to understand the concept of classifying and categorizing, as well as how to use the vocabulary words. Beginning Intermediate Advanced Use common classroom items to demonstrate to students how to classify and categorize them. As you put the objects into groups such as color, shape, or size, say classify and categorize. Then mix up the objects, and ask students to classify and categorize them. Provide students with common classroom items and ask them to classify and categorize them. Challenge students to explain why they classified each group of items the way they did. Have students work in small groups to discuss the duties of the men and women in Jamestown. Ask them to explain why each group is classified and categorized the way it is shown in the book. Advanced High Ask students to review their answers to Try It! With a partner, and think of different ways they could have classified and organized the information. Try It (p. 137) Have students work in groups or independently to complete the Try It Activity (p. 137). Alternatively, this activity can be assigned as homework. Reread the section titled Hard Times in Jamestown in the lesson and answer the following questions about classifying and categorizing.. Students will answer/respond to the following: What is the purpose of the chart that goes with question 6 from page 133? Analyze the illustration of the Jamestown settlers and Powhatan to classify and categorize the supplies shown. Use the graphic organizer to categorize the events that helped the settlers at Jamestown and the events that harmed them.
