Big Zoo Lesson

This is a lesson that was conducted last week in the third grade classroom I am currently in. The students are going to the zoo for a week long research project. Each student is responsible for researching an assigned animal and they need to collect data. Last week we talked about what the students were expected to do throughout their research and I have taken this lesson and added technology!

I have turned this lesson into a google docs presentation and have attempted to follow the BBP approach. I learned the 6 lines six word per slide rule and I think I will be using that for future presentations. In this presentation I have tried to use visuals that will help students remember the information, for example the frog with big eyes for the look slide and the elephant with big ears for the listen slide. Hopefully these visuals will spark their memory more so than slides with a great deal of writing.

Enjoy!
