This unit plan aims to teach second grade students about farms over the course of a week. The class will include 20 students, most of whom are white, and 4 have ADHD. Each day will focus on a different aspect of farms: discussing what farms are, reading a book about jobs on farms, watching a video about farm vehicles, teaching the basics of farming and having students plant something, and taking a field trip to a local farm. Technology like a smart board, videos, and worksheets will be incorporated into the lessons.
