Materials/Set-Up:
Reading Book: How an Egg Grows Into a Chicken by Tanya Kant
Life Cycle of a Chicken worksheet
Pencil and crayons
Elmo projector
Pen

The first part of the lesson will be done on the carpet area in front of the classroom. I will ask
the children to sit in three rows. For the second part of the lesson the students will return to
their seats to work independently.

Procedures:

a. Introduction: First, I will start with a class discussion by asking the students if they know
the life cycle of a chicken. I will show a picture of a chicken. I will allow a few minutes for
responses and discussion.
Questions I will be asking:
1. Do you know how a chicken came to be?
2. How does a chicken start his/her life?

b. Developmental: Next, I will read How an Egg Grows Into a Chicken by Tanya Kant. I will
read each page and will repeat each stage of the life cycle of a chicken. As I continue to read, I
will review the previous cycles in the life cycle of a chicken. I will continue this procedure
until I reach the final stage. When I am done reading the story, I will ask the following
questions: Who remembers.
1. What happens first?
2. What happens next?
3. What happens then?
4. What happens finally?

c. Concluding: Finally, I will give instructions about the class work. I will go over and show
an example of what the students are going to do; I will show them step by step.
Step #1 Color pictures
Step #2 Cut out pictures
Step #3 Place pictures in the correct order
Step #4 Raise your hand for the teacher to check. Make corrections as needed.
Step #5 Glue

When I am done I will turn off the Elmo and instruct students to go and work independently at
their desks.

1. Show a YouTube video of the Life Cycle of a Chicken
2. Have large posters of each of the life cycle of a chicken.
3. Have a live chick or chicken for viewing.
4. Provide books about chickens in the library for students to read and look at.

Extensions:
1. Students will create their own Life Cycle of Chicken Booklet.
2. Show a video of the Life Cycle of a Chicken.
3. Write a short story about the Life Cycle of a chicken.
4. Have students write 4 or more sentences about what they learned about the Life Cycle
of a Chicken.
Management Considerations:

1. Whole class activity.


2. Independent class work
3. Students with special needs, behavioral needs, and special learning abilities will be
paired with other, capable students.
4. Students that are disruptive will be sitting and paired with the teacher.

I will have certain students sit next to certain students due to special needs, behavioral needs,
and special learning abilities. Special needs student will sit with S & Ra. Behavioral needs and
special learning ability student #1 will sit with K and student #2 will sit with Re & Si.

Reflections:

The students were very engaged in the lesson; there were many good discussions and
questions. I liked how everyone was able to contribute by saying something about the topic.
Students were interested in the topic and were focused on all parts of the lesson.

I could improve the lesson by showing a short video on the life cycle of a chicken at the end. I
could have a large picture of a chicken posted in the classroom. I also could have books for the
children to view after doing the lesson or have them placed in the library. Varying the way I
can have students answer by having pair share is another possible way to improve the lesson.
During my discussion, I could ask more inquiry questions.
