Introduction		Hello West House, my name is Angel Campos and today I will be teaching you abou the difference a stable shelter can make in a child's life.
Verification (Steps to check for student understanding)		Beginning: Has anyone ever seen a homeless child stationed on the side of the street? (If so) What kind of shelter were they using for protection, if they were using any at all? End: Based on the information taught, why do you believe having rudamentary shelter is important?
Body (Give and/or demonstrate necessary information)		• Literal: 1. Street children most often make unsafe shelters with their surroundings. 2.These shelters  make them suseptible to physical harm, and don't protect them as much as they should. 3. There are much safer alternaties available, which could help a child develop better. • Interpretive: 1. Many people may have younger siblings/family members. 2. We live in the Los Angeles area, the capital of homelessness in the US. • Applied: This topic helps me in the future by really understanding what devestating effects a child can go through simply by having bad/no shelter. It helps me with the end result of my senior project, because it really gives my mentorship more meaning, by working in a shelter, and it also gives me a sense of direction as to what I want to choose as my final answer for my EQ.
Visuals		1. Powerpoint 2. Pictures of children who live in makeshift shelters vs. those who do not (yet are still homeless e.i. shelter children)
Activity (Describe the independent activity to reinforce this lesson)		• Making Space: • How it will be done: I will bring a plethora of materials that one would typically find on the street and some that would be more ideal for a safe shelter, in groups, students will have to construct a makeshift shelter in which they deem durable by the information taught in x amount of time • What materials will be used: tarp, trash bags, mesh, coat hangers, wooden planks, blankets, etc..
Three Important Sources		Three Important Sources 1. My experience at URM, I would consider this a valuable source because when I work with the children in the shelter they are so much more cared for and protected than those I see on the street. 2. http://www.layouth.com/a-world-apart-i-lived-on-skid-row/ This is a first hand account of a minor living on skid row without proper shelter. 3. first5la.org this website greatly talks about what its like for children from 0-5 living in LA
Conclusion		Thank you west house for listening and participating in my presentation on why shelter is so critical to a child's development.
