Farming (3/1)

Description

THE FIRST FARMER – THE PLOUGH – TILLING THE SOIL – FRUITS OF THE EARTH

FARMING – 33 pages: Three weeks of lesson plans with mentoring comments are illustrated with samples of blackboards and bookwork, spelling practice and written summaries, paintings, craftwork, a field trip, and a letter of information to the parents.

The free supplement of poems and songs is an editable template which includes sheet music, footnotes and attributions. Customise it for your cultural setting, or use it to teach English as a foreign language.

This first block of Farming shows how the loss of Paradise leads to the necessity of making a life on earth with the toil of one’s hands. The Michaelmas harvest festival provides a natural transition from the esoteric stories of Genesis to the practical topic of farming. We harvest fruit and grain, learn how to press apple juice, bake apple crumble and thresh self-grown wheat with songs and poems that bring the farmer’s work alive in the classroom. We study the horse-drawn plough and visit a ploughing match to see it in action. (A second Farming block at the end of the year focuses on farm animals and their care.)
