    LESSON STRUCTURE
    Minds On (Prior Knowledge/ Mini Challenges)
    - Introduce similarities and differences to students by making statements
    such as: everyone in grade 1 stand up, everyone with blue eyes stand
    up, if you like to read stand up, etc. Discuss what students noticed and
    have some volunteers make some statements as well.
    - Write down the word diversity on chart paper. Have students think-pairshare with a partner about what they think diversity means. As a class,
    work towards the understanding that we are all different from each other.
    - Show students the cover of the book Its Okay to Be Different and
    discuss what they think it is going to be about (predict).

    20-30 minutes

    30-40 minutes

    Action (Teaching/Learning Activities)


    - Read the book to students, stopping a few times to discuss, connect
    and check for understanding with students. Some possible questions
    may inclue: do you know anyone who is like the characters in this book?
    Which of these characters is like you (if any)?
    - After reading the book, have students think-pair-share again, adding to
    their definition of diversity (what makes us the same and what makes us
    different). Have students share their answers, adding to the chart paper
    already created.
    - Divide students into groups and distribute brainstorming handout.
    Explain that they will brainstorm ways that they are different and similar
    to each other and other people in the world. As students work, ciruculate
    and have conversationswith students and observe/listen to discussions
    that are occuring among groups.
    Consolidation (Assessment/ Summary of Key Learnings)
    - Regroup and have students share their ideas through a whole class
    discussion. Record students ideas on chart paper.
    - Ask students to think about a diffrerence that has affected them
    personally. On a paper, they will write an Its okay statement and
    illustrate it (i.e., Its ok to have freckles on your skin). These can be used
    as an exit card to check for students understanding. Put all students
    pages together to create a class Its Okay to Be Different book. Read the
    book to students.

    Accommodations (i.e. extra time, provide templates, handout of notes, IEP specifics)
    - ESL students can be paired with someone who is familiar with their L1 or they can use
    Google translate/biligual dictionaries if they are having difficulty expressing their ideas
    during think-pair-share or class discussion times.
    - Have technology (i.e. computer, ipad) available for students to use if they are having
    trouble communicating their ideas. They may use programs such as Google Translate, read
    and write for Google, Kurzweil, WordQ, etc.
    - Work with ESL students in a small group setting to ensure they understand what diversity
    is and to help them develop Its okay statements.
    - Provide students with extra time as needed and graphic organizers to organize their ideas.
    - Have students use their L1 to communicate as needed. Have one-on-one
    conversations/conferences with students to help guide their thinking.
    Assessment:
    - Observe students as they think-pair-share, discuss as a class, work in groups, etc. to
    assess their understanding of what diversity means and what makes us similar and different
    to those around us.
    - Have conversations and conference, taking anecdotal notes, with students throughout
    lesson (i.e. during group work) to assess students thinking and communication about
    diversity and where they see it around them.
    - Use students Its okay statements as exit cards to assess their understanding of
    diversity and how they apply it to their own life.
