Time:
9:00am
teacher sets up a brainstorm of types of African animals using the
Class whiteboard. The teacher will select a few students with their
hands up, let them name their animal, then will ask them to stand up
and write the name of and to draw their animal on the whiteboard.
9:10am
4. After hearing and recording the students ideas of African animals, the
Teacher asks the students to sit quietly, and then explains to the
students the purpose of todays lesson and what the students will be
able to achieve at the end of the lesson. The teacher will also say that
there will be two very exciting tasks for them to complete on their
laptops that will be a very enjoyable and a fun activity, but the
students will need to put their thinking caps on.
5. The teacher asks the students to each pick up their laptop quietly and
open their laptop to their email. The teacher uses the interactive
whiteboard to connect to their teachers laptop to show the students
what to do on the laptop; the students must follow.
6. The teacher explains to the students that they are going to be using
different types ICT programs on the laptop to complete these 2
activities. The teacher will explain the apps that they will be using on
the laptop and will also show the students what they must do with the
apps to help them understand how to achieve the deliverables of the
lesson and to familiarise themselves with the digital devices.
7. The ICT device we will be using today is our laptop; does everyone
have an laptop? We will be using three apps to finish these tasks,
namely our Mail app that connects us to our website with the tasks on
it, Safari with our facts, and iMovie. Are you all familiar with how to
use these apps? If you have any problems, come to me for help.
9:20am
8. Before the teacher teaches the lesson, the teacher will provide the
students a link to a website that teacher made, that will explain their
adventures and will lead them to the first task they need to complete.
The teacher asks the students to click on the link in the email. Once
all students are on the introduction page, the teacher asks the
students to click on the tab adventures and click on Africa
adventure. This page will give instructions and how to complete the
tasks.
9. The teacher and the students will go through the activities and tasks
on the website that they have to complete so that the students
understand what they have to do. The teacher will read out the
instructions on the website page for the students and explain the
activities in more depth. The teacher will explain each activity one at a
time, give students time to complete the activity then explain the next
activity as the students might forget what to do.
Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):
The lesson is designed for a class of year 1s to investigate and learn to
research how animals live in different places where their needs are met. It is a
lesson with a lot of repetition and facts for students to keep focused on the
topic and keep their concentration. The lesson is broken into two parts that
are very similar, so that the students learn and develop the skill to find the
important information in the paragraphs to help them answer the task, and at
the same time learn how animals adapt in different environments. The lessons
will help them to continue to improve on their ICT skills.
9:30am
Activity 1: Investigating
1. Activity one is where the students search through information about
African animals that the teacher created for them through
Blendspace, and the students find information about how the animals
adapt to their environment.
2. The teacher will give a couple of examples of how to look for the
correct information in paragraphs, firstly by reading out the paragraph
and identifying the animals adaptation. Next, the teacher will ask the
students to find the animals adaptation, by first asking one of the
students to read out the paragraph and then another student to
identify the animals adaptation. If the students still do not understand
what to do then the teacher will give another example.
3. The students must go through each slide of the Blendspace
information about African animals, then choose an animal from the
slideshow, find the relevant information on adaption and finally they
will need to ensure they have enough information to create a poster
on the animals and how they adapt to their environments.
4. Students must create a poster about the adaption of the African
animals. Each students poster must be on one African animal from
the slideshow, and not using the one from the examples. The Poster
can be created on the laptop using Word or Pages. The students
must develop and demonstrate their ICT skills by creating a poster on
the laptop. The poster must include:
The title of the chosen African Animal
A picture of the African Animal from the website Flickr (a web
source that the teacher linked to the website for the students
that they can use to search for their image)
