Philippine Animals

Introduction

                           By: Kevin Climacosa

        This is a fun and educational lesson for 2nd graders covering science and language arts. It is designed to help students learn about different animals from different places of the Philippines and to organize and present information.


INTRODUCTION:

    We are going on to Philippines.  We know that there are many different animals in the place.  You and a partner will be philippine tour guides and introduce two animals to the rest of the class.  You will become an expert on your chosen animal. 

 

Task

TASK:

      You and a partner will choose two Philippine animals.  Before you and your partner guide us in Philippines to introduce us to your animals, both of you need to become experts on the animals by doing research using the Internet.

Process

PROCESS:

   *We will have a brief discussion and power point presentation about Philippine animals. You should include pictures of the animals.  Start thinking about which animals you would like to become an expert on.

    *You and your partner will choose 2 animals you would like to introduce to the class.  Once you have chosen your animals, you and your partner will use the Internet sites provided to research them.  You should look for the following information:   

                      The name of the animal?

                      What family it belongs to?

                      The size of the animal?

                      What the animal eats?

                      Where the animal lives (what  part                         of Philippines, land, water, both)?

                      Any other interesting facts you find                       about the animal!

     *Make sure you record your information.  When you are done researching  you and your partner will put the infromation into a power point presentation.  Your presentation should be at least 5 minutes long and include:
                            A title page with the tour guides'                             names on it

                            At least 1 picture of each animal

                            At least 5 of the questions listed                             above answered and organized

                            At least 1 interesting fact about                                the animal

                            Different backgrounds and                                     colors

                            At least 5 Internet sources
 

Have fun and be creative!
