I chose the three objective test items and essay items because I wanted to see how many students were able to demonstrate their knowledge about community helpers.  Since this was designed for first graders and they are not able to give an in-depth essay, I decided to ask them to give me three sentences about what a policeman does.  This is to test their knowledge by answering a question to see if they absorbed the information that was presented to them.

Who Lives in Your Neighborhood

Grade Level:  First Grade

Three of the measurable learning outcomes for the unit are:
