Lesson - 10-20 min
1. Review Day 14’s lesson about exploring animals through technology. Today students will think of three questions they want to know about their animal and then find the answers through the ABCmouse Zoo app. 2. Model for the students writing down three questions they may have about their topic. These may be questions they already remember the answer to from the exploring the animals the day before. 3. Then model writing down the three questions on the Note Taking Worksheet. 4. Suggest to the students, writing at least one question were they are comparing two animals instead of just recalling information. This will help draw the activity into a higher order thinking skill. 5. Next model listening to the zookeeper on the app for the answers to the three questions. If students do not find the answer to the question they wrote down, then they may choice a different question they do have the answer to. |
