In this lesson, students will understand that change occurs over time and has an impact on individuals. Students will be able to define change. They will identify changes in themselves and others. They will identify life changing events and how they affect their lifestyle. They will identify the characteristics of each season and identify the way each season influences the way people live, work, dress, and play.

Students will look at many of the responsibilities of good citizens, one of which is voting.

In this lesson, students learn that personal history can be shared through stories and pictures.

After classroom discussions and activities of changes in people over time, higher-level students can extend their learning by creating a timeline of themselves and a timeline of a grandparent or parent. A grandparent would be preferable so a greater difference could be seen between the two. Then the student can articulate similarities and differences in the two. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

The "I Grow" activities in this lesson will help students understand the abstract concept of time passing. Students will listen as the book When I Was Little by Jamie Lee Curtis is read aloud.
