Instructional Plan
Learning Objective
Students will identify that trade involves buying and selling across different countries. They will distinguish between import (bringing in) and export (sending out) using visual cues.
Teacher Preparation
Ensure students have scissors and glue sticks for the "Shipping Order" activity. Pre-cut items for students with significant fine motor needs.
Visual Supports
Icons: Use symbols consistently (🤝 Trade, 💰 Buy, 🌍 World).
Color Coding: Import = Blue, Export = Orange.
Kinesthetic
Sequencing: Cut-and-paste supports cognitive ordering.
Gestures: Use hand motions for "in" and "out".
Facilitation Tips
01
Pre-teach: Focus on icons. Show a globe 🌍 and a ship 🚢 before reading.
02
Guided Reading: Track text with fingers. Pause at emojis to check for meaning.
03
Modification: For non-writers, matching can be done by pointing or using stickers.
