ACADEMIC LEARNING GOALS
Unit: Junior Zoologists Abstract: ELA-Literacy, Writing, Creative Art Project, Science
Provide an overview of the lesson. Include content outcomes addressed and a summary of how it will be taught.
This lesson will begin with a Think About It worksheet. The students will be given a question (What do you think a Zoologist is? What do you know about a zoo? What animals live at a zoo? Then the students will get prepared for a guest speaker to come speak about being a zoologist and have live animals for the children to observe. The children ask questions and be asked question to keep them engaged and learning. The Zoologist provides example of different types of animal textures for students to feel at the end (Shells, fur, feathers, snake skin) of the guest speaker presentation. The students will use zoology sight words in a group discussion, and then write a sentence identifying animal characteristics, habitats, what animals eat and need to survive. The use of technology in this lesson is used to motivate and facilitate learning using a zoo camera to observe more animals in the wild and at a zoo. There will be a observation log for the junior Zoologist to write what animal behavior they see. Finally a creative animal habitat project using art supplies, National Geographic Kids magazines, butcher paper, and manipulatives. A final wrap up will include a read-aloud of Good night Gorilla or
Let’s go to the Zoo song.
Big Idea
List the concepts that relate to major issues, problems, concerns, interests, or themes relevant to students' lives and increase student engagement.
In this lesson students will be learn about Zoology, and express their knowledge about wild animal characteristics, different types of habitats, and make observations of animal behavior This lesson will teach students about compassion, empathy and the responsibility to care for animals. Through a variety of engaging activities, the children will be able to use new sight vocabulary terms to write, draw, and create a fun animal and
habitat project! Giving children experience and opportunity to interact and observe live animals, opens the door to all of their senses and allows learning to be fun, meaningful, and something that a standardized test cannot measure, but the take away from what they learn is far more in depth.
State-Adopted Content Standards or Common Core Standards:
What content or common core standard(s) are you addressing?
California Environmental Principles and Concepts aligned to the CA NGSS: (K-LS1-1) California Common Core State Standards Connections:
Science-K-LS1-1. Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. Use observations (firsthand or from media) to describe patterns in the natural world in order to answer scientific questions. (K-LS1-1)
ELA/Literacy –W.K.7 Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g., explore a number of books by a favorite author and express opinions about them). (K-LS1-1)
VAPA-1.1 Describe repeated patterns of nature and the environment in works of art
Academic Objective/Learning Intention:
What specifically do you want the students to be able to know and/or do by the end of the lesson (aligning with standards above)?
Objective By the end of the lesson, students will have be able to express their knowledge about Zoology, the importance of what a Zoologist does, facts about wild animals, different types of characteristics and habitats. They will have had the opportunity to be Junior Zoologist for the week of the wild animal zoo lesson theme. The
student will understand new sight and use them in group discussions and write sentences related to animal behavior. English learners contribute actively to class and group discussions, asking questions, responding appropriately, and providing useful feedback. They demonstrate knowledge of content through oral responses, writing tasks, collaborative conversations.
Language Objective for English Learners:
Based on identified student language needs.
For English Language Learners I will ensure that all students fully understand the lesson and I will show examples and provide extra encouragement and support to complete the task. EDL.K.P1.1: Exchanging information and ideas with others through oral collaboration on a range of social and academic topics
EDL.K.W1.6 Interacting with others in written English in various communicative forms (print, communicative technology, and multimedia)
EDL.K. SL.1.1–3Listening actively to spoken English in a range of social and academic contexts

METHOD
Anticipatory Set
Day 1.
Ask questions to the class: Have you ever been to a zoo?!
What kinds of animals
did you see?
Do you know what a Zoologist is?!
Are you ready to become a junior Zoologist?
Let students know they are going to become Junior Zoologists!
Students will be told about a guest Zoologist that is coming to the classroom to show them real animals and learn about wild animals and habitats! Students begin with a Think About It The teacher will tell the students that they are going to have a guest speaker talk to them about being a Zoologist, and could have a special surprise with them, tells students need to pay special
attention to what a Zoologist does. Gives students examples of things to remember that could be used later in the lesson.
-Animal names
-Physical Characteristics -Habitats (Where animals live)
-What animals eat
The teacher will then ask the students what they know about the Zoo?
Teacher will prepare students for a guest speaker to come. She will hand out their official Zoologist name tags, and explain the rules and procedures for what to expect while guest speaker and live animals are in the classroom.

UDL Multiple Means INSTRUCTION
:
Instructional Strategies: Describe the concept or skill development strategies (including modeling). Describe your plan for instruction in the order
in which it will be implemented (with approximate times for each step).
Have a guest speaker come to talk about animal wildlife, habitats, characteristics, facts about animals, and the
experiences they have had with animals. Children get to observe live animals and pet them along with other materials provided of animals (Shells, fur, feather, snake skin, types of food)
Guest speaker ask questions to children about Zoology and then asks the students what questions they have for them?
The teacher reminds students to be aware of the new vocabulary terms from Zoology and has them written with pictures on the word wall she prepared before. (The words were reviewed the day before and will be again during and after the guest speaker leaves)
Teacher is assisting children in petting the animals and taking a polaroid of each student with the animals and observes their interaction with the animals and materials.
Once guest has left the classroom the teacher has whole group discussion about the what they thought of the animals, Zoology, new facts they learned, and reviews new sight vocabulary words, and add other new words to the word wall that the children pick out. Teacher assesses students during discussion by taking notes next to children’s name.
Teacher transitions students to the next
part of the lesson for guided practice.

of concept or skill development strategies.
The teacher will have the students make a animal using their hand or foot print and paint to create a wild animal
-What animal it is?
-A fact they learned about Zoology
Second part: Students will add their paint animal and polaroid picture to large butcher paper spread out to glue on.
As a class each students uses their area of the butcher paper to create a habitat around their art
work. -Using Kids National Geographic magazines
to cut out pictures, use
crayons, and other materials to add to their habitat. (Water, trees, food, shelter…)
Teacher models examples of hand and foot print painted animals and guides them to while they create their own. Teacher guides students through the paint activity and praises their work and asks questions to students about what they are creating.

This response will answer the questions:
1. What did I learn?
2. Why did I learn this?
3. How will I use this in the future?
4. What questions do I
still have?
The teacher will hang the butcher paper animal art work and habitat project the class created. Teacher will assess some students while they are finishing their work and
ask if any students would like to talk about what they learned using the 5 finger retell or explaining their paint animal and written sentences. This will give the teacher and idea of what the students are thinking and their understanding of the lesson.
