    Having butcher paper to make a large city that the entire class can work on together makes this a fun and engaging activity. Having pre-printed cards of buildings can make this activity go faster.

    3. Direct Instruction (Teacher-Facing Instructions)

    These are the steps the educator will read. Include any front loading, modeling or explicit instruction before students work independently or in groups.

    Instruction

    Introduction (5 minutes):

    • Begin by asking the students what they know about cities. Encourage them to share any experiences or observations they might have had in cities.
    • Explain that a city is a big community where many people live, work, and play. Cities have different parts, just like a puzzle, and each part has a specific purpose.

    Instruction

    Brainstorming (10 minutes):

    • Discuss the different things they might find in a city. Write their ideas on the board or large paper. Examples: buildings, houses, schools, parks, roads, traffic lights, stores, etc.

    Instruction

    City Components (10 minutes):

    • Go through the list of items generated in the brainstorming session. Discuss the purpose of each item and how they contribute to the functioning of a city.
    • Use simple language and visuals to help them understand. For example, you can draw a picture of a school and explain that it's where children go to learn.

    Instruction

    Hands-on Activity (15 minutes):

    • Distribute small toy cars, trees, and buildings to each student or group of students.
    • Ask them to create their own mini-city on a piece of paper using the materials. Encourage creativity and discuss why they placed certain elements where they did.
    • This activity allows them to apply what they've learned about city components in a hands-on way.

    Instruction

    Group Discussion (5 minutes):

    • Have each group share their mini-cities with the class. Ask them to explain why they placed certain elements where they did and what functions those elements serve in their city.

    Instruction

    Conclusion (5 minutes):

    • Summarize the key points about city planning: cities have different parts, each with a specific purpose, and together they create a community where people live and work.

    Instruction

    Extension Activity:

    • If time allows, you can extend the lesson by exploring different types of transportation in a city (e.g., buses, trains, bikes) or talking about the importance of rules and organization in a community.

    4. Student Practice (Student-Facing Instructions)

    These are step-by-step instructions delivered directly to the students as they work independently or in groups

    Student Instructions

    Instruction

    Hands-on Activity (15 minutes):

    • Distribute Ozobots, trees, and buildings to each student or group of students.
    • Now its time to create your own city on a piece of paper using the materials. Be creative and be prepared to discuss why your group placed certain elements where you did.
    • After your city is planned make roads for Ozobot to navigate the city. Remember to use color codes to speed up or slow down Ozobot as needed.
