Seesaw Read Aloud Project Outline

Digital Read aloud, including peer evaluations: Students in a 2nd grade classroom will record themselves reading their favorite book using their Seesaw accounts on their Chromebook devices. They will make their recorded video available to other students in our class to listen to. Students will leave positive feedback after listening to the read a-louds.

Read Aloud Project

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Lesson 1

Introduction: Display Google slide of a camouflage animal. Have the kids see if they can spot what is in the picture (camouflage owl). Ask if they know what would describe why the owl is hard to see.

I DO:Direct instruction-Discuss adaptations using a Google Slideshow.

WE DO:Guided practice-Watch a video explaining adaptations in detail.

YOU DO: Independent practice-Watch a video that shows images of camouflaged animals. Students will find the hidden animals on their own throughout the video.

Exit ticket-Students will watch a video clip of an insect. They will write out the adaptations they see of how the insect lives in leafy habitat. Students will draw and color the word adaptation in their vocabulary notebook.

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Lesson 2

Attention-getter- Picture of a small animal curled up sleeping in a hole. Ask: What is this picture about? (hibernation)

I DO:Direct instruction-Discuss adaptations using a Google Slideshow

WE DO: Guided practice-Read and learn about a Hedgehog in National Geo for kids.

YOU DO:Independent practice-Watch a video in our Google Classroom before completing the exit ticket.

Exit tickets, reflections, quizzes, etc. Pick one and find one interesting fact about how the following animals hibernate: Bears, Hedgehogs, Chipmunks, Reptiles, Woodchuck/groundhogs, Bats, and Skunks.

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Lesson 3 

Attention-getter-Picture of a small owl looking bird standing infront of a hole in the ground. Asking: “What is this picture about?” Discuss why they think an owl would live on the ground like a squirl?

I DO:Direct instruction-Review what we have already learned about animals and adaptations. Then introduce what habitats are and why they have different animals living in them. Presentation in a Google slideshow presentation.

WE DO:Guided practice-Teach will go through eight different habitats and discuss what plants and animals live in them. Compare two different habitats from Mystery Science lesson about bighorn sheep.

YOU DO:Independent practice-Student will get to explore additional websites where animals and habitats are explained. Students will answer questions posed on a Mystery Science lesson in their writing notebook.

Exit tickets-Students will complete a Mystery Science journal.

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Lesson 4 

Attention-getter-A picture of two different rabbits that have different adaptations and habitats. Discuss the picture after “Think Time.”

I DO: Direct instruction-Reading through the Utah digital science book. 

WE DO :Guided practice-As we read through the Utah digital science book, our class will stop and discuss the content and questions in the book.

YOU DO: Independent practice-Students will write their thoughts and answers to the questions in their notebook as we come to them.

Exit tickets-In your science notebook, answer the exit ticket question. Use 7-up sentences and keep writing until the timer goes off.

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Summative Assessement Project Directions 

Students will create a Google Slide show showing photos of animals that live in a specific habitat. They will add pictures and explain in written words what characteristics these animals have to survive in that habitat.

• Students will be able to identify 6-8 different animals that live in a specific habitat.

• Students will be able to explain 2-3 adaptations animals need to survive in a specific habitat.

Animal (Living Things) Science Standard 2.2-Student Templet -Project 

Students will create a digital assignment that will be used as a summative assessment. This template will guide them through their project.
