Lesson Plan

Inclusion Lesson Plan: Middles Edition

Notice who is left out, welcome someone new and help with respect.

This is the Middles Edition of Inclusion: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades 4-6. Every day follows the same rhythm: Reading on Monday, Writing and Words on Tuesday, Science and Math on Wednesday, a Hands-on Project on Thursday, and Show and Tell on Friday.

The big question: What does it take to make someone feel they belong?

The Week

• Mon: Who Gets Left Out? (Reading) • Tue: Lines That Welcome (Writing & Words) • Wed: Favorites Survey (Science & Math) • Thu: Pledge and Welcome Guide (Hands-on Project) • Fri: Help With Respect (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of Inclusion has Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8) in one file, so siblings or a mixed classroom can study the same topic together.

Perfect for homeschool families, grade 4-6 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
