Ask students what they know about classifying animals (take 2-3 student
answers)
Now we are going to watch a video. Lets watch to find out more about
classifying animals.
Play video https://jr.brainpop.com/science/animals/classifyinganimals/
Discuss what was learned from the video (take 2-3 student answers)
Instruction: *
Today we are going to read an article that tells us more about classifying
animals. Then we are going to answer some questions about the article as a
group and do some independent vocabulary work.
"Now, in groups you are going to answer the three questions on the next
page. You will fill out a graphic organizer with the types of vertebrates you
read about on number one. On number two you will place a check by which
statement is correct. Finally on number three you will describe what makes
amphibians different from the other types of vertebrates. We will discuss your
answers as a class once everyone has finished. You have eight minutes. If you
finish before time is up you and your partner may quietly read your book.
Let students work in groups, walking around listening to each groups work
and helping when needed.
Using star sticks, randomly select students to answer questions and discuss
as a class.
Now, individually you will do the other half of the sheet. You will match each
vocabulary work from the passage to the correct definition. I want you to
highlight the vocabulary word in the article when you find it.
When youve finished turn this into the reading basket. You may then get on
RazKids or work on your blue reading folder.
Students will work in groups to complete questions about the article (guided
practice)
Students will work individually to complete vocabulary worksheet
(independent practice)
Closure: *
Pick three students to share out one fact that they learned from the article.
