I. Topic/Grade Level:
Making Applesauce
K-3 Special Education
Scienc/Reading/Speaking and Listening
II.
Standards:
Reading Standards
K.10- Actively engage in group reading activities with purpose and understanding
K.7-With prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which
they appear
(e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).
Speaking and Listening Standards
K.1- Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics and texts
with peers and adults in small and larger groups.
a. Follow agreed-upon rules for discussion (e.g., listening to others and taking turns
speaking about topics and texts under discussion).
b. Continue the conversation through multiple exchanges.
K.4- Describe familiar people, places, things, and events and, with prompting and support, provide
additional detail.
Life Sciences
K.2. Different types of plants and animals inhabit the earth. As a basis for understanding this concept:
a. Students know how to observe and describe similarities and differences in the appearance and
behavior of plants and animals (e.g., seed-bearing plants, birds, fish, insects).
b. Students know stories sometimes give plants and animals attributes they do not really have.
c. Students know how to identify major structures of common plants and animals (e.g., stems,
leaves, roots, arms, wings, legs).
Investigation and Experimentation
K.4. Scientific progress is made by asking meaningful questions and conducting careful investigations.
As a basis for understanding this concept and addressing the content in the other three strands, students
should develop their own questions and perform investigations. Students will:
a. Observe common objects by using the five senses.
b. Describe the properties of common objects.
c. Describe the relative position of objects by using one reference (e.g., above or below).
d. Compare and sort common objects by one physical attribute (e.g., color, shape, texture, size,
weight).
e. Communicate observations orally and through drawings
III.Goals and Student Learning Outcomes:

Goal 1: Students will understand that some fruits and vegetables grow under the ground and
some grow above ground
Student Learning Outcome 1: Students will correctly identify two fruits/vegetables that
grow above the ground
Student Learning Outcome 2: Students will correctly identify two fruits/vegetables that
grow under the ground
Goal 2: Students will follow a recipe (with adult assistance) to make applesauce
Student Learning Outcome 1: identify the next step of the recipe

VI.
Diversity / Differentiation:
This class is a moderate/severe SDC class with students ranging from kindergarten through 3rd
grade. The lesson has been fully adapted to meet the needs of all learners. The information is
projected on the large screen so it is easy for all students to see. The students are divided into small
groups with classroom aides to assist in the assignment of making applesauce. For those unable to
write, the Speech Notes App will be available. Also for non-verbal students who are also unable to
write, the App Proloquo2Go will be available to assist the students with the assignment.
VII.
Technology Inclusion:
The technology in the class will first include the Elmo projector and screen. This
will enable the recipe to be projected large enough for the whole class to see
clearly. The Smartboard will be used for the interactice part of the lesson as well
as playing the sing along songs using the jukebox feature. The App Speech NotesFree on the IPads will be used for students who are unable to write. Ipads will
also be used for the video journals.
VIII. Prior Knowledge: Prior to this lesson, students have: learned about farms, farm animals,
and dairy farms.
Lesson Placement in the Unit: This is lesson _6_ of _10__.
IX.
Procedures:
Video journal prompt: Did you like the way the applesauce tasted? Was it easy or hard to make applesauce?
1. Lesson Introduction / Anticipatory Set:

Circle time discussion: talk about different fruits and vegetables and that some
grow above ground and some grow below ground.
Read the story The Enormous Turnip. While reading the story, interact with the
3
children about how the turnip grows underground and not above ground.
2. Direct Instruction:
Using the smartboard, display several different fruits and vegetables and talk about
where they grow. Split the screen to show an underground portion and aboveground
portion. Have students drag the fruits to the appropriate place.
3. Student Interaction with lesson content / Guided Practice:
Activity: Have the students stand. Say and demonstrate
When I show an underground fruit or vegetable, crouch down and when I show an
above ground fruit or vegetable, jump up!
4. Independent Practice:
Cooking: Display the recipe using the Elmo with IPad connected. Using the App
Recipes for Kids, review the applesauce recipe that you will make with the class.
Have the students use their Ipad and follow along with the recipe as you explain the
procedure.
Divide the classroom into stations with parent helpers. Students will rotate to the
different stations with their Ipads and work on washing, peeling, cutting (with
plastic knives), and adding ingredients to the applesauce.
Using the jukebox feature on the Smartboard, play various farm sing-a-long songs
during the activity.
5. Review / Closure:
Video journal prompt: Did you like the way the applesauce tasted? Was it easy or
hard to make applesauce?
