|| 2)What is the difference between wants and needs?  Need; Something you absolutely can't do with out. You have to get to function properly.Want; Something you can do without and its for your own desires. 3) What are something humans need to survive? Food, water, shelter, air || (Artifact: link to real world, website, book, picture, etc.) || Show students pictures of different things that humans need and things they want. (food, shelter, ipad, tv, clothes). Have them raise their hand to tell you what are wants and needs. After students guess if pictures are wants or needs ask them if they can come up with any more, write these on the board to add to the spelling list. || (Factual information/Vocab Includes sample feedback loop) || Write want/needs words on the board that students come up with and have them put them in into a spelling list. There should be a total of at least 7 but no more than 10. Some of the words that should be on the list are; Air, Food, Water, Shelter etc. Ask students the question below, make sure you leave them time to answer you.
 * Rationale: || Learning the difference between human wants and needs ||
 * || **Sequence of Activities:** ||
 * Anticipatory Questions/Activity: || 1)How do we know what humans want and what they need to survive? When humans need something it is for survival. If we did not have food or water we would die. If we did not have shelter we could get really sick. When we need something it is for survival. When we want something it is because it is cool or because it will make our life easier. But if we do not get it we will not die, like getting a new ipad or tv.
 * Body of Lesson Plan:
 * //Segment #1//**
 * **//Segment #2//**

When talking to the students about what they need to survive. 1) What does it mean to survive? //To remain alive//. 2) How can we remain alive? //We need food, water, clothes and shelter// 3)Why do we need to know what we need to survive? //We need to know because we need to know how to take care of ourselves and how our parents take care of you.//

Food and Water Food and water are what we need to keep us alive, and should be our top concerns when trying to build a sustainable community. In a sustainable community you __must __ have a renewing water system (streams, rivers, wells, reservoirs…) because without clean water it is impossible for the human race to survive. Food supply is another important consideration. Whether it is farming, fishing, or livestock, it needs to be managed in a sustainable way.

Shelter

It is impossible for human beings to survive without shelter. We need a place we can rest our body and minds, but also protect us from the sun, rain, wind, cold, heat, and storms. Making shelter requires the use of building materials which must come from natural resources. || (Includes multiple intelligence strategy: Hands-on, small groups, reteaching strategy) || Students need to learn the difference between what humans want and what they need to survive. Students learn better when they have a visual in front of them such as pictures. Pass out pictures for the students to cut out of the different wants and needs. Have them make a chart with 2 columns (one labeled wants the other labeled needs). Glue pictures in the correct column. There is a completed sample on my desk in the folder labeled sub. Show this to the students after they have finished their chart so they know if they got it correct. || (Detailed directions on how to complete activity) || 1) Go over the definitions of what are wants and needs 2) Show students different pictures of different wants and needs 3) Write students responses to what are other wants and needs on the board. This will be words for a spelling test. 4) Talk about what humans need to survive. 5) Handout wants and needs worksheets so students can cut them out and put on a chart ||
