Resources/References
Motivation and Introduction:
Align these with the
segment where they will
1. As the teacher arrives in the classroom, the teacher asks the students
be introduced.
to please grab their laptop and to make their way to the mat and sit
quietly with their laptops on the floor in front of them, in order to start
the lesson. The teacher will welcome the students and begin the
lesson
2. Once the class is quiet, the teacher can begin by asking the students
has anyone been to an African Safari Park and seen any African
animals? This question is to help the students get motivated and
participate in this adventure of learning African animals. The lesson
will be based on how these animals adapt to their habitat. The
teacher only chooses students with their hand up and the class hears
what they have seen.
3. After hearing from those students who have been to an African Safari
Park, and before the students start the days task, the teacher asks
the students if they know the names of any African animals? The

Whiteboard and markers


teacher sets up a brainstorm of types of African animals using the
Class whiteboard. The teacher will select a few students with their
hands up, let them name their animal, then will ask them to stand up
and write the name of and to draw their animal on the whiteboard.
9:10am

4. After hearing and recording the students ideas of African animals, the
Teacher asks the students to sit quietly, and then explains to the
students the purpose of todays lesson and what the students will be
able to achieve at the end of the lesson. The teacher will also say that
there will be two very exciting tasks for them to complete on their
laptops that will be a very enjoyable and a fun activity, but the
students will need to put their thinking caps on.

Today I have planned an adventure for you in Africa. We are


going to be looking at different animals in Africa and how they
live in the wild. The aim is to investigate and research how
these animals adapt in their habitat to survive. I have planned
activities and tasks for you to complete that will be very
enjoyable and fun. To be able to do these activities we are
going to need our laptops and to be as creative as possible,
while at the same time acting as investigators to find out how
the animals adapt to their habitat.

Before we get started, do any of you know what the word


adapt means? The teacher listens to a couple of the
students answers and then gives the students a definition
they will understand and an example. Adapt means a way for
an animal to change or fit in to their environment, for example
a lion.

Now that we know what adapt means, what do you think


habitat means? The teacher listens to a couple of answers
from the students who give their own definitions, and then
provides a definition for them, such as: habitat means where
an animal lives on earth, which is the animals home area,
such as where a lion lives.

Now that we know what these words mean, we can use


these words to help us find how the various animals adapt to
their habitat and environment in Africa and to work to
complete the tasks you need to complete.

5. The teacher asks the students to each pick up their laptop quietly and
open their laptop to their email. The teacher uses the interactive
whiteboard to connect to their teachers laptop to show the students
what to do on the laptop; the students must follow.
6. The teacher explains to the students that they are going to be using
different types ICT programs on the laptop to complete these 2
activities. The teacher will explain the apps that they will be using on
the laptop and will also show the students what they must do with the
apps to help them understand how to achieve the deliverables of the
lesson and to familiarise themselves with the digital devices.

Laptops and interactive


whiteboard (smartboard)

7. The ICT device we will be using today is our laptop; does everyone
have an laptop? We will be using three apps to finish these tasks,
namely our Mail app that connects us to our website with the tasks on
it, Safari with our facts, and iMovie. Are you all familiar with how to
use these apps? If you have any problems, come to me for help.


9:20am

8. Before the teacher teaches the lesson, the teacher will provide the
students a link to a website that teacher made, that will explain their
adventures and will lead them to the first task they need to complete.
The teacher asks the students to click on the link in the email. Once
all students are on the introduction page, the teacher asks the
students to click on the tab adventures and click on Africa
adventure. This page will give instructions and how to complete the
tasks.
9. The teacher and the students will go through the activities and tasks
on the website that they have to complete so that the students
understand what they have to do. The teacher will read out the
instructions on the website page for the students and explain the
activities in more depth. The teacher will explain each activity one at a
time, give students time to complete the activity then explain the next
activity as the students might forget what to do.
Lesson Steps (Lesson content, structure, strategies & Key Questions):
The lesson is designed for a class of year 1s to investigate and learn to
research how animals live in different places where their needs are met. It is a
lesson with a lot of repetition and facts for students to keep focused on the
topic and keep their concentration. The lesson is broken into two parts that
are very similar, so that the students learn and develop the skill to find the
important information in the paragraphs to help them answer the task, and at
the same time learn how animals adapt in different environments. The lessons
will help them to continue to improve on their ICT skills.

9:30am

Activity 1: Investigating
1. Activity one is where the students search through information about
African animals that the teacher created for them through
Blendspace, and the students find information about how the animals
adapt to their environment.
2. The teacher will give a couple of examples of how to look for the
correct information in paragraphs, firstly by reading out the paragraph
and identifying the animals adaptation. Next, the teacher will ask the
students to find the animals adaptation, by first asking one of the
students to read out the paragraph and then another student to
identify the animals adaptation. If the students still do not understand
what to do then the teacher will give another example.
3. The students must go through each slide of the Blendspace
information about African animals, then choose an animal from the
slideshow, find the relevant information on adaption and finally they
will need to ensure they have enough information to create a poster
on the animals and how they adapt to their environments.
4. Students must create a poster about the adaption of the African
animals. Each students poster must be on one African animal from
the slideshow, and not using the one from the examples. The Poster
can be created on the laptop using Word or Pages. The students
must develop and demonstrate their ICT skills by creating a poster on
the laptop. The poster must include:
The title of the chosen African Animal
A picture of the African Animal from the website Flickr (a web
source that the teacher linked to the website for the students
that they can use to search for their image)

Laptop pages or word


Task website resources
Interactive whiteboard
(Smartboard)

9:40am

9:55am

A sentence on how the animal adapts in the environment and


a sentence on where the animal lives, in their habitat.
Their name at the bottom on the poster.
5. Once the students have completed their poster they must show the
teacher and the teacher will put the poster on a thumb drive to print
off for the students. The teacher can then hang each students poster
up around the room to show the students work.
6. If students have not finished their poster by the end of the lesson they
can finish it for homework or in their spare time
7. Once the students have an idea on what it means for an animal to
adapt to their environment, the students must sit back down on the
mat with their laptop open on the task page, ready for the second
activity
Activity 2: African adventure movie
1. Each student must click the link to a website source the teacher
supplied for the students, for the students to find 5 African animals of
their choice and to research their adaptation to their habitat.
2. Once the students have found and chosen their animals and their
adaptation, they must create a movie on iMovie using images of the
animals, with a sentence of the adaptation of each animal shown in
images in the movie. It should also state where each animal lives.
The movie should include:
A title
Names of the animals
Their adaptation
Their habitat
5 images of the animals from Flickr
Name of the creator at the end
3. Once the movie is created, the students then show their teacher their
movie.
4. The students are then divided into groups of 4 and each student will
present their movie to their peers to show what animals they found
and about each animals adaptation in their environment. The teacher
will create the groups of 4.
5. The students share with one another in the group, then each student
in the group must comment on each other students movie and the
comment must include:
One aspect they liked about the movie
One aspect they learnt
Once aspect in the movie they should work on
Lesson Closure:(Review lesson objectives with students)
1. Once every student has finished their activities, the teacher will get
the class attention by clapping their hands and by bringing the class
back together on the mat in front of the whiteboard, with the laptops
on the floor in front of them with their screens shut.
2. Once the class is silent, the teacher will then ask the students
questions to see what they have learned and that they enjoyed
todays lesson. These questions will be:
What did you learn in todays lesson?
What did you find interesting about the animals?
What was your favourite African animal?
What did you find hard to achieve/finish?

What do you need help with next time?


3. The teacher keeps a note of what the students have learned and what
they struggled with, to keep in mind for the next time when learning
about new animals and the next adventure.
The teacher makes a statement to conclude todays lesson:
Well done year 1s for finishing the African Adventure. You did well
today, researching information and creating your own poster and
video; you were all very creative. Your ICT skills have improved and
so has your reading. Remember that every animal lives differently to
others, so in order that they can survive in their habitat, they adapt
differently. Next time you will learn how animals adapt in Antarctica,
so remember the terms adapt and habitat for that lesson.
Transition: (What needs to happen prior to the next lesson?)
The teacher asks the students to put their laptops away and to sit
back at the desks in their assigned seats, sit quietly and wait for
further instructions.
Assessment: (Were the lesson objectives met? How will these be judged?)
The teacher will assess each students work by reviewing each students
posters and watching one movie from each of the groups. The teacher will
listen to the students comments in the groups to see if the students are able
to work together and give good feedback. The teacher will use a checklist to
mark one of the groups who have completed both tasks correctly.
Checklist will include:
Able to look and identify the African animals adaptation in small text
provided for them (Objective 1)
Able to research and identify 5 different African animals adaptations
on a web source provided for them (Objective 2)
Able to demonstrate creative and appropriate use of ICT skills on the
laptop using Pages or Word, iMovie and website sources and stay on
task (Objective 3)
The teacher will use these objectives and the checklist to analyse the
students and see who understood the concept of the lesson and who didnt.
This benefits the teacher to see who needs extra help and needs closer
attention with this concept. This also helps to see if the teacher needs to
change the teaching method if the original method did not work. Only one
group will be focused on in this lesson. Other groups will be observed at
another lesson.
