Lesson # 1 - Penguin Integration Introduction                       Level: 1-5 ELL                                                                         Grade: 3 (Ages: 7-8)

Lesson Overview:

Objectives: Generate interest in penguins, recall what the students already know and come up with questions to pursue, introduce new vocabulary, start the penguin portfolio

Language Learning

Objectives

introduce new vocabulary

formulation of questions

Concept Objectives

Questions wordsGlobal span of

penguinsVariety of types of

penguinsPenguins are new to

the Calgary zoo

Strategy ObjectivesEngage students in the subject

(penguins)Generate connections between

student’s funds of knowledge and new topic (penguins)

Activities Summary1. Gallery Walk of penguin pictures: including pictures of their natural habitat,

the zoo exhibit, diet, pop culture, family units, and the variety of types of penguins. Students in groups of 3/4 move about the room observing a variety of penguin related pictures. They have the freedom to discuss the pictures amongst themselves.  The teacher may encourage discussion and the sharing of ideas about the pictures in the ELL students home language.

2. Teacher introduced new vocabulary words using the pictures to help describe the word (habitat, diet, penguin,Humboldt, Gentoo, Rockhopper and Kings, Antartica, ). The words and the pictures that highlight them are then placed on a word wall for continual referencing.

3. KWL chart. Students fill out their own individual KWL chart through a class discussion. Students can choose to fill out the chart individually or with the information that the entire class generates.  The KWL chart becomes the first part of the student’s penguin portfolio.

4. If time permits show clip from the Calgary herald http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Penguin+Plunge+exhibit+opens+eager+crowds+Calgary/6171956/story.html

Back up activity - Have materials available to start decorating the cover of the penguin portfolio.

Lesson # 2 – Storybook Reading: “And Tango Makes Three”Level: 1-5 ELL                                                                         Grade: 3 (Ages: 7-8)

Lesson Overview:

Objectives: Introduce the story, recycle vocabulary, introduce new vocabulary, story comprehension, introduce life cycle and habitat information, start/add to the penguin portfolio

Language Learning

Objectives

introduce new vocabulary

recycle vocabulary

Concept ObjectivesPenguins have families,

role of parentsIntroduction to Penguin

life cycle and how Penguins are born and

their habitat

Strategy ObjectivesUse mediated reading and QAR to

expand vocabulary, knowledge about Penguins, and reading

comprehension

Activities Summary1. Introduce students to the book “And Tango Makes Three.” Have them look

at the front and back cover and discuss what they think the book is about. Write down their responses on the board.

2. Go over vocabulary words from the book with the students, prior to reading it. They will be displayed in a graphic organizer with pictures next to each of the words. Question their knowledge about the recycled words from the previous lesson. Add the new vocabulary words to the word wall.

3. Read the book to the students. The teacher should pause when each of the vocabulary words is reached, and go over it with the students.

4. Once the story is finished, have the students break into table groups and give them a list of QAR questions of varying levels to question what the students have learned.

Back up activity - Have materials available to start/continue decorating the cover of the penguin portfolio. Suggest adding a picture from “ And Tango Makes Three”

Teaching Phase:Warm Up: Introduce the cover of “And Tango Makes Three” to the students and have them inquire into what the story is about. 

New Language, Concepts, Strategies:   

Mediated ReadingQRAWord WallNew Language: Families, couple, nest, stone, rock, hatch, chickNew Concepts: Penguins live in families with a parent couple. The start of the life cycle of a penguin and the need to keep the eggs warm. How penguins feed and what they do each day.Strategies: Initially question students about what they think the story is about to spark interest. Use mediated reading to go over new and old vocabulary words to assist all students in learning new words, and recycling previously learned words. Include pictures to aid ELLs. Use QRA to ensure that students are comprehending the story and the new vocab. By splitting the students into groups, it will allow ELLs to work with their peers. Provide a dual language edition of the story to the ELL if available or with a bilingual dictionary. The story promotes diversity and is relatable to students who feel unique or different in the classroom. .Practice, Reinforcement, ExtensionWord wall, Mediated Reading, Reading comprehension

Language Learning Objectives

Concept Objectives Strategy Objectives

ŸIntroduce new vocabularyŸRecycle previously learned vocabularyŸFollowing directionsŸForming/Using descriptive language

Ÿ Penguin habitatŸ Penguin adaptation and survival- How they keep warm, swim better (escape predators), last long periods without food.

Ÿ Posing questions to faciliate inquiryŸAccessing funds of knowledge and previously learned materialŸPartner workŸHands on experimentation with materialsŸUsing pictures, artifacts, actions to help explain concepts/vocab

Activities Summary

1. Start with class discussion - ask students:·       What they have already learned about the environment penguins

live in (Show pictures of environments to aid ELLs).·       What issues might they encounter in this type of environment that

may influence survival? (Cold weather/water, access to food).·       Recycle previously learned vocabulary/concepts during discussion

and refer to word wall (Diet, habitat, Antarctica, life cycle).·       Ask students what they do to stay warm in the winter (move

around, wear coats/mittens/sweaters, layer, turn up heat, etc.). If they were swimming in cold water? (Wear wetsuits; don’t stay in water for long periods of time). – Use props or actions to help guide ELLs in answering/understanding.

·       But penguins don’t wear coats!  – Ask students how they think penguins are able to withstand the cold weather/waters (blubber, feathers).

2. Introduce new vocabulary (adaptation, blubber, insulation, buoyancy, food reserve). Help teach new vocab with pictures and examples to aid ELLs (E.g. Picture of a lifejacket to explain buoyancy – students know that it helps you float). Add these words to the word wall.3. Explain directions and demonstrate experiment to the students, have them partner up (have ELLs work with non ELLs wherever possible) and hand out materials. They will take turns doing the experiment, while one person records results and observations.

Experiment and Directions:PART I: Insulation

Page 12: anumrichportfolio.weebly.comanumrichportfolio.weebly.com/.../0/8/1/10812244/penguin_lesson_pla… · Web viewActivities Summary. Gallery Walk of penguin pictures: including pictures

1.     Cover one hand with plastic bag2.     Fill second bad with shortening, put covered hand into this bag

and knead to make sure hand is completely surrounded.3.     Seal bag around wrist with tape or elastic band (optional)4.     Cover other hand with two plastic bags without shortening (this

is the control)5.     Place both hands simultaneously in bucket of cold ice water;

have partner time and record how long each hand remains under water.

PART II: Buoyancy1.     Remove bags of lard from students hands and seal it so water

doesn’t seep through2.     Attach weights to each bag (with and without shortening) and

place in water.3.     How many weights can each bag hold before it sinks to the

bottom?4. Discuss results and observations from experiment as a group and what it means for penguins living in extreme conditions. Review new vocabulary words learned from experiment and explain that blubber also acts as a food reserve for when penguins have to go long periods of time without food during mating season (sitting on eggs to incubate them).*Photographs will be taken of each student while doing the experiment to be printed and put into their penguin portfolios.Back-up Activity: Have students work in groups to build their own “penguin ” (insulation containers) that will keep in warmth using a variety of given materials. Students will take into account what they have learned about how humans and penguins stay warm in cold temperatures. Using thermometers, students will measure water temperature in their containers at a start and end time in order to see which group built the best insulator.

Teaching Phase:Warm Up:  Facilitate a class discussion by asking students questions how they keep warm and what they know about penguin habitats and survival in harsh conditions. New Language: Adaptation, blubber, insulation, buoyancy, food reserveConcepts: Animal adaptation and survival strategies/characteristicsStrategies:  Facilitating inquiry by posing questions, group or partner work, learning through direct hands on experimentation and observation, use of pictures and props to aid in concept understanding.

Practice, Reinforcement: Collaboration and discussion with peers after experiment to recycle and reinforce vocabulary understanding.

Extension: Have students go home and find other materials that float (have buoyancy), make good insulators, etc.

Activities Summaryare its causes and consequences? What areas of the world are affected? Are any species of penguins affected/endangered due to climate change?

- teacher displays all related ideas on board through creation of concept map

- introduce new vocabulary and put on word wall.3. Have students work in groups or pairs to research climate change and its

impact on penguins- Key Questions: What is climate change? (causes and effects), Are penguins affected? (which species, where?)

4. Once students have researched key aspects, have them create their own mind map: Introduce concept of Global Citizenship/conservation and ask students to brainstorm ways we can do to reduce or impact and contribution to climate change.

5. Students will give a quick presentation of their findings and conservation ideas in their groups to the class. (5 mins) In their presentation, they need to address 3 key points: What is climate change? How are penguins affected? What can we do to reduce our impact?

*Mind maps can be copied and out into each students’ penguin portfolios

Teaching Phase:Warm Up: Introduce the topics of climate change and global citizenship by showing short video to get them thinking.

New Language, Concepts: Climate Change – causes and effects Global Citizenship – what can we do to help Conservation – what is being done/can be done to help endangered

penguin species? Endangered Animals – how are penguins affected?

1. View online virtual tour of zoo exhibit at the Calgary Zoo and have students take note of the different elements required for a penguin habitat. http://www.calgaryzoo.org/content/view/772/879/ and read this article to find out the conditions needed for the penguin exhibit http://www.ctv.ca/CTVNews/Canada/20120218/calgary-zoo-penguins-exhibit-20120218/

2. Students will create their own exhibit. They will sketch it and measure its dimensions with a ruler. They will measure the perimeter, the length and width, calculate the area, and the volume of water in the exhibit. They will also include and identify both 2D and 3D objects. Allow ELL students to work with a non ELL student in order to ask vocabulary questions. Allow them to work on computers or the use of a bilingual dictionary when designing the exhibit.

3. Using knowledge learned from previous lessons as well as online research, students will include the correct dietary food and habitat conditions (ie temperature, cleanliness of enclosure) for the penguins in the exhibit, as well as the penguin species they will include in their exhibit.

4. Students will write a description of their habitat. This will include vocabulary words from the word wall, and an explanation for the reasons why they chose the measurements and elements they did for their exhibit. Add exhibit and description to portfolio.

5. If time allows, have students work on Zoo Tycoon to create a marine animal exhibit.
