    This 3-week enrichment lesson plan involves students researching animals that live in groups. In week 1, students learn about different animal classifications and choose one group-living animal to research. Week 2 has students fill out worksheets to outline what they know and what they need to learn about their chosen animal. They also begin researching answers to guided questions. In week 3, students complete their research and create a poster and presentation, such as a diorama, Keynote, or iMovie, about their animal. The teacher is available to answer any questions throughout the project.

    Enrichment Lesson Plan

    You will use this lesson plan with the enrichment group during interventions. If
    this project is not completed within the 3 weeks, it is not a big deal. Students
    will be given the opportunity to continue to work on it in their own classes.
    Thank you for working with these students. If you have any questions, please
    feel free to come ask me. I will try to make this as easy to follow as possible.

    Animals and Groups


    This project based learning comes from the Topic 1 enVision program with some
    additional tasks that have been adapted from other project based learning
    activities. Go through each activity. As one activity is finished, another one
    may be started.
    Week 1:
    1. Have students help you list animals that form groups, such as ants, fish,
    birds, and elephants.
    2. Talk about why being in a group can help some birds survive. (Examples: Living
    in a group may help birds find food. Being in a large group can protect birds
    from predators. Birds can also huddle together in cold weather to keep
    warm.)
    3. Explain to them that you will look at different classifications of animals.
    Once theyve learned a little about each animal, then they will chose one.
    They will be able to use the information to help them start their research.
    4. Show the page about insects Read it to the group. Then read the passage
    about insects (every students should have a copy). Pass out the prove your
    learning page. You can have the students work in groups on this, or you can
    go over the answers as a group. If they work in groups, remember to go over
    the answers after theyve finished. (You will follow step 4 until you have
    covered mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish.) This may take the
    first week.

    Week 2:
    1. Many animals live in groups. Students need to chose an animal that lives in a
    group. This animal will be the animal they will find information on. Make
    sure they didnt chose an animal that lives alone (sharks, jaguars, tigers,
    leopards, bears, moose, foxes) Please write down the animals students
    chose, so that I can gather the appropriate pages for their research.
    2. You may want to pair up any students that chose the same animal. They will
    be able to help each other on this project.
    3. Pass out the What do you know? page. Give the students 5-10 minutes to
    fill in this page. This page should have them brainstorming and writing down
    prior knowledge.
    4. Go over the Must Haves vocabulary. These are the topics that they will be
    finding information on concerning their animals. Give an example for each
    word.
    5. Pass out the question pages that students will need to answer. Explain to
    them that they will be doing research on their animal to answer these
    questions.
    6. Let them begin their research.
    7. They will fill out the Animal Research Notes to help organize their
    information, once theyve answered the research questions.

    Week 3:
    1. As students finish their research, have them fill out the Physical
    Characteristics page, and Behaviors page about their animal.
    2. Then, they can fill out the animal fact file for their animal.
    3. They will create a poster about their animal.
    4. Finally, they will decide bet ween 3 ways to create a presentation.
    1. A diorama about their animal.
    2. A Keynote Presentation
    3. A Presentation using iMovie using the movie section not the trailer
    section.
    5. Let me know what presentation they decide to do. I will have guidelines for
    them to follow.
