Lesson Plan: 1. Introduce the vocabulary of this article to students. Discuss movement and push and pull factors. Give examples so that students have a good understanding of each word. Examples include: walking to get something to drink when they are thirsty or walking to the park to have fun are pull factors. Push factors include going inside if it is raining, moving to cover your ears from loud noises, or moving to another place to get away from an annoying sibling. Each thing is a movement, and the reason for the movement determines whether it is push or pull. 2. Read the article. 3. Using the Think-Pair-Share strategy, ask students to explain to each other what they understood from their reading of the article. 4. Have students reread the article. As students reread, ask them to highlight or underline the vocabulary terms they reviewed before reading: movement, push factor, pull factor. 5. Continue using Think-Pair-Share. Ask students to think about the word “movement.” Ask them to pair up and share their explanation of the word “movement.” (Students will add the terms “push factor” and “pull factor” to this graphic organizer as they read those articles.) 6. Keep students in their Think-Pair-Share groups. Have student pairs fill in the graphic organizer Migration Word Web with their new vocabulary word. Ask the pairs to explain how the word connects to what they learned about migration in article 1. 7. Ask every two think-pair-share groups to come together to form a group of four. Ask the new groups to discuss how the word “movement” connects to what they learned about migration in article 1. 8. You can decide to have each group share with the whole class or to have students write a one-sentence summary explaining how the new vocabulary word helps them to understand migration.
