= Name of Lesson: Peanut Butter Jelly Time! = **Prepared by: Danielle Cavinder** **Class time needed:** 50-70min **Grade level: 9-12** **Objectives:** · Students will learn how to give specific directions for simple tasks · They will hone group social skills **Materials Needed:** · Large sheets of poster paper · Markers · Peanut butter · Jelly · Plates · Plastic knives · Paper · Writing utensil

**//Activity//:**

1. Have students get into groups of 3 to 4 people and hand out one large sheet of poster paper per group with markers. 2min

2. Ask students to write a rough draft of step by step instructions on how to make a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich on a piece of notebook paper. 15min

3. Once all groups seem to have completed a rough draft, ask them to copy it onto the poster sheet with their marker. 5min

4. Have the students pin them up to the walls (so that they can change them) and set up the bread, peanut butter and jelly, knife, plates on a table at the front of the room. 5min

5. The teacher will follow the directions on the 1st group chosen. (make it as literal and messy as possible. Example: If they don’t specify, but stuff on both sides of bread, dig in with fingers instead of knives, dump it on the table if they don’t say plate, don’t swallow if they don’t say to when you take a bite.) 10min

6. Ask for a student volunteer from the group you just picked and have them make a sandwich for the next group. Repeat these steps until all groups have gone. 20-40min
