Standard Statement: With support and modeling, explore and identify the relationship
etc.).

Children will be able to match animals with the animals habitats. Children will be
able to do so by playing games on the computer through Quizlet.com, via the
Scatter game. The purpose of this lesson is to help students become more familiar
with animals and their habitats. Students will also create a picture book with
pictures of the animals and their habitats via MyStorybook.com on iPads. Via the
use of the computer, the children will learn basic computer/technological skills.

Estimated
Duration:

The computer game will be utilized during center time, so it will be about 15
minutes per student. The computer game will be a center activity for two days (for
a total of 30 minutes per student). The storybook will take about 60 minutes, so I
will divide it into four days (15 minutes each day). Prior to the computer game and
storybook, the students will have a group time lesson discussing what children
know about animals and their homes, which will be about 15-20 minutes. Books
and picture files about animals and animal charts will be utilized during the group
times. After the first day, the next group times will begin by children discussing
what they have learned the day before (15-20 minutes).

What preparation is needed?


Creating the Quizlet game and setting up the computers on Quizlet or MyStorybook.com.
Creating a KWL (know, want to know, learned) chart for students to discuss during group
time. Gather any other necessary items for the group times (animal books, picture files of
animals, etc.).
What materials will be used?
Quizlet.com, MyStorybook.com, KWL chart, five iPads, and five computers.

How will the learning environment be set up?


The computers will be turned on to Quizlet.com. The KWL chart will be on the easel in the
group time center. The iPads will be turned on MyStorybook.com and set in the writing
center on a table.

Instructional Procedures:
Day 1:
For the first 15-20 minutes, children will participate in a discussion regarding what they know and
what they want to know about animals. During the group times, picture files, charts, and books
will be read about animals also. I will write the childrens thoughts and ideas on a KWL chart.
After group time, the children will be divided into centers for the day. Each child will have the
opportunity to play the Quizlet matching game on the computer and create 1-2 pages of their
storybook on the iPad. Centers will be about 15 minutes long.
Day 2:
For the first 15-20 minutes, students will participate in a discussion regarding what they have
learned about animals and their habitats. The children will be divided into centers again and the
children will create 1-2 pages of their books on the iPads. Students will have the opportunity to
play the Quizlet matching game on the computer on this day as well. Again, centers will be about
15 minutes long.
Day 3-4:
These two days will be a repeat of Day 2.
Day 5:
For the first 15-20 minutes, students will participate in a discussion regarding what they have
learned about animals and their habitats. I will review everything the children have done and
explored over the past 4 days. Children will have the opportunity to finish their books on the
iPads after they have been divided into centers for the day. Each center will be about 15 minutes
long.
Extension
A website that students could visit to learn more about animals and their habitats is Animal
Habitats for Kids Skyenimals. Follow the link to visit the website:
http://www.skyenimals.com/browse_habitat.cgi
The website has different habitats that children can click on, and each habitat leads to a new
page with the pictures of animals that live in the habitat. Students could learn about more
animals and more habitats.
Differentiated Instructional Support: Describe how instruction can be differentiated
(changed or altered) to meet the needs of gifted or accelerated students:
Instruction could be differentiated for accelerated or gifted students by adding more animals to
match to other habitats. Gifted or accelerated students could add more pages to their animal
books as well.
Discuss additional activities you could do to meet the needs of students who might be struggling
with the material:
Additional activities that could be implemented to meet the needs of students who might be
struggling could be to have the students find pictures of animals in magazines or books and to

determine what the habitat may be based on the pictures of the animals.

For teachers

For students

In order to teach this lesson, I will need five computers and five iPads. I will need
a KWL chart, animal books and picture files, and possibly magazines of animals. I
will need to set up accounts for Quizlet.com and MyStorybook.com and create the
games on Quizlet.com. I could also email the storybooks to parents in order to
share what the children have completed in class.
Students will need access to the computers and iPads.
