Lesson Objective(s)
(Stated in observable and measurable terms)
Students will create a Wanted Poster (detailing 6 parts of specific ecosystems) using Open Office.
Assessment Plan
(What will be done to determine if lesson objectives have been met?)
Students will be assessed using a rubric. The poster is required to include: a description of the
ecosystem, location (at least two places that this environment can be found), known associate
animals and plants in the ecosystem, and an image of the ecosystem. The student must utilize a
background as well as changing font and adding at least one graphic. Students may scan home
pictures into the poster and can also find an image online (however they must site the source).
Materials:
Materials needed include a computer with internet capabilities and the textbook.
Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs:
Students will be able to include basic ideas and basic information, but will be required to work at the
best of their ability. Students can find images to include in Clip Art in place of searching for them
online. Students will be able to write ideas (they do not need to be in sentence form).
Enrichment Techniques:
Students in need of enrichment will be challenged to add detailed information and detailed images.
