Erin HatfieldComparing Animals: A Video Enhanced Lesson

Introduction:

In this lesson, groups of students will use the knowledge they gain from videos to create aVinn Diagram Poster of two animals. This poster will then be presented to the class through

an oral presentation by the group.

Content Area and Grade or Age Level of Students:Grade 1 Science/Language Arts

Objectives:

The student will be able to use new information from videos to create aninformational poster.

The student will be able to use correct spelling and conventions when writing. The student will be able to explain how animals survive in different environments

through their poster.

Standards Addressed:

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.5 With guidance and support from adults, focus on a topic,

respond to questions and suggestions from peers, and add details to strengthenwriting as needed.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.1.7 Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g.,

explore a number of how-to books on a given topic and use them to write a

sequence of instructions).

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.2Ask and answer questions about key details in a text read

aloud or information presented orally or through other media.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.5Add drawings or other visual displays to descriptions

when appropriate to clarify ideas, thoughts, and feelings.

CCSS.ELA-Literacy.SL.1.6 Produce complete sentences when appropriate to task

and situation.

1-LS1-2. Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and

offspring that help offspring survive.

Relative Advantage:

One of the struggles with education today is the budget. There is very littleroom for field trips. Unless a student's parents take them to the zoo, theyare likely not exposed to the animals we take for granted. Through the useof videos, these students can experience these animals in a vicarious way.They can see them interact in their natural habitat and learn more thanthrough books alone. Videos also appeal to all learners, especially those thathave reading difficulties. By paring groups by ability level, teachers canensure that every student has a chance to succeed.

Grouping Strategies:Students will be placed into groups of 2-3 depending on the number of

computers available. One computer must be available per group. Ideallythey should be grouped by ability level and personality traits so as to avoidconflict and ensure a quality product.

Learning Activities:1. Students will view the videos provided as a whole group.

a) Teacher may pause and discuss as needed throughout thevideos.

b) Students may want to take notes during the videos about the

various animals.2. Teacher will facilitate a discussion about the similarities and

differences between various animals.3. Students will be grouped by ability level and personality traits and

begin working on the project4. Groups can use the computer to view the videos again or find more

information about certain animals as needed.5. Groups are responsible for creating a Vinn Diagram poster that

compares two animals.

6. Once completed, groups will present their poster to the class.

Assessment:The teacher will know that students have met the goals and objectives forthis lesson by reviewing their final project and comparing it to the

accompanying rubric.

Adaptations for Learners with Special Needs:To meet the needs of all learners, teachers should:

speak slowly and clearly

repeat directions often

show an example

take extra consideration when grouping these students
