Unit 9 Project
Integrated Literature Unit and Lesson Plan Analysis
CE330-01
Student Name
28 October 2014
9. I chose to do an integrated literature unit on the book
entitled Brown Bear, Brown Bear What Do You See? by Bill
Martin Jr., with students ages 5-8 years old. It is a very colorful
and repetitious picture book, that introduces colors and many
animals. It may be used to introduce many learning skills to the
early childhood levels. I have developed activities in this
integrated literature unit that introduce quality concept
explorations to help children explore their world. The thematic
nature of concept explorations makes them natural and ideal for
integrating all areas of the curriculum (Seefeldt, et al., 2011). It
is important to involve the children physically, cognitively, and
emotionally in their learning. These activities demonstrate
learning experiences that are relevant to children all over the
world (Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
For a math activity, we will make animal cards to use on a
large pictograph to determine which animal character in the
story is the class’ favorite animal. For a science activity, the
students will listen to animal sounds and by using animal
pictures, they will hold up the matching animal to its sound. For
a social studies activity, we will make a map of the school
campus, and using the Brown Bear text pattern, we will
substitute job titles of helpers in the school environment, in the
order of their location on the campus.
The math concepts addressed in this unit are teaching the
students how to capture and record data on a pictograph, count
the information, and determine the analysis. It is important for
children to know what tools to use for capturing and displaying
information that is important to them (Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
10. The science concepts addressed in this unit are demonstrating
the use of the sense of hearing. Children learn naturally by
using their senses, because it is on their level of development.
In this lesson the students learn to identify different animals by
the sounds they make. The social studies concepts addressed in
this unit teach children to identify a variety of job occupations
and their duties in the school environment. This introduces
students to economics and understanding that they have choices
to decide what they want to be when they grow up.
An integrated curriculum gives teachers an opportunity to
construct quality concept explorations that include a wide
variety of activities that may share the same theme. The ideas
and work of great theorists Rousseau, Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky,
and others implement that appropriate activities should allow
students to be involved with nature, real learning experiences,
and to be able to make discoveries by thinking and problem
solving through their own experiences ( Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
These activities incorporate all of the children senses. They
encourage sharing ideas and interest with others. They help
children develop learning and organizational patterns through
collecting and classifying information, and they contribute to
giving children first-hand experience to explore their world
(Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
Theorist John Dewey was a firm believer that learning can
occur only through free exchange and communication with the
unity of diverse cultures, experiences, races, ethnicities, and
nations (Seefeldt, et al., 2011). Early childhood students learn
and understand their world through their direct experiences.
When the teacher creates a learning environment that
implements activities, using props, and wall displays of diverse
cultures, ethnicity, class, ability, gender, and religion, it gives
children the opportunity to share, interact, and learn together
(Seefedlt, et al., 2011). When children interact, share, and learn
together, they recognize differences, but gain understanding that
we all share many of the same characteristics. This type of
environment teaches them attitudes, values, and ideas about
11. each other.
John Locke believed that children are born as blank slates,
along with Skinner who believed that a reward or reinforcement
for an action or a correct response implements the learning of
social behavior (Seefeldt, et al., 2011). Behavior studies
explain that ignoring antisocial behaviors and modeling
prosocial behaviors in a child’s presence will help develop good
behaviors. Although this technique may be used to control
behavior, children will need to develop their own internal
control (Seefeldt, et al., 2011). Cognitive maturity also affects a
child’s social behavior. Social-cognitive theories explain that,
to help children construct social development, adult guidance
may sometimes be needed to help them work out their own
situations during social interactions. This will help their
growth and maturation.
Family, culture, and school are some factors that affect
children’s social skills. When children receive lots of love,
care, affection, and are taught rules in their home, they are
better prepared for socializing in other group settings. Also
parents who model good social skills around their children, set
good examples for them. The family sets a foundation for good
and/or bad social skills. The characteristics of a community can
also affect children’s social skills. They may express needs,
grief, or fear in the school setting from the affects of their
community. They may also imitate some of the things they
witness in their community. When many of these behaviors
enter into a school environment, children learn new ways of
acting, relating,and socializing. They may be influenced by
many models of behaviors from educators, as well as other
students. Some may be good and some may be bad; however, the
educators will set rules and limits for particular social
behaviors to help students develop proper social skills
(Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
In my conclusion, it is important that educators construct
activities that give children hands-on experience to help them
learn, develop, mature, and explore their world. After all, we as
12. educators are responsible for the continuation of children’s
development. Many theorists have contributed to establishing
ways to construct educational activities. Through these
activities, teachers have the opportunity to integrate the total
curriculum to contribute to helping children form the foundation
of a healthy self-concept, develop the skills of communication,
sharing, cooperating, and participate in a social group with
people of all cultures (Seefeldt, et al., 2011).
