1 3 rd Grade Integrated Science and Language Arts Lessn Plan The Effects f Pllutin n Animals and their Habitat Lessn Plan Created by Carin Jrdan A. IDENTIFY/REFERENCE NATIONAL, STATE PERFORMANCE (OR QCC), LOCAL CURRICULUM STANDARDS: Language Arts Standards: ELACC3RL1: Ask and answer questins t demnstrate understanding f a text, referring explicitly t the text as the basis fr the answers. ELACC3RI1: Ask and answer questins t demnstrate understanding f a text, referring explicitly t the text as the basis fr the answers. ELACC3W7: Cnduct shrt research prjects that build knwledge abut a tpic. ELACC3W8: Recall infrmatin frm experience r gather infrmatin frm print and digital surces; take brief ntes n surces and srt evidence int prvided categries Gergia State and Lcal Perfrmance Science Standards S3L2: Students will recgnize the effects f pllutin and humans n the envirnment. a. Explain the effects f pllutin (such as littering) t the habitats f plants and animals. B. SPECIFY ESSENTIALCONTENT/OBJECTIVES: Knwledge: Students will: Demnstrate an understanding f the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitat. Skills: Students will read bks prvided and/r visit interactive cmputer websites t research the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. T dcument what they have researched, each grup will fill in their assigned graphic rganizer nting the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. The graphic rganizers are differentiated by grup and grups will have a chice between ne f tw types f pllutin t research. Students will individually reflect n what was learned abut the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats thrugh a jurnal entry, pster r PwerPint presentatin. Enduring Understanding: There are harmful effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. Essential Questin: What are the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats? C. COLLECT A VARIETY OF MATERIALS/RESOURCES FOR STUDENT USE: Pre-Assessment (See Attachment) Vide: Created specifically fr lessn plan: Selected Texts n Pllutin: General Earth Watch: Wildlife in Danger by Sally Mrgan Page 1 f 13

Student Applied Practice Chice Handut (See Attachment.) Access t cmputer lab, classrm cmputers, r mbile laptp cart. Jurnal Entry Lg Sheets Tag bard, Drawing Paper, Markers, Crayns Assessment Rubric fr Cllectin f Pst-Assessment Data D. ACTIVATE AND PRE-ASSESS STUDENT PRIOR KNOWLEDGE: Pre-Assessment f Prir Knwledge: On the day befre the lessn, explain t the students, We are ging t learn abut the effects f pllutin n animals. Befre we begin ur lessn n Mnday, I want t check the knwledge yu already have abut the effects f pllutin n animals. Distribute the pre-assessment handut (see attachment) and allw students time t write dwn their respnses. The infrmatin gathered frm the pre-assessment as well as teacher knwledge f students will allw teacher t grup the students int ne f three grups: Grup A, B, and C. Activatin f Prir Knwledge: On the day f the lessn, pass ut the pre-assessment handuts that students cmpleted during the prir class perid. Explain t the students that they will be viewing a vide pertaining t the effects f pllutin n animals and that they may use a different clr t edit their pre-assessment handut as desired. E. PROVIDE FOR NEW KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION: Students will be placed in ne f three grups: A (high), B (middle), r C (lw). They will use texts prvided and/r visit interactive cmputer websites t research the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. T dcument what they have researched, each student will fill in their assigned graphic rganizer nting the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. Students in grup A will have the chice t research either nise r light pllutin. Students in grup B will have the chice t research either acid rain r air pllutin. Students in grup C will have the chice t research either il spill pllutin r pllutin caused by trash in the water. Students in all grups (A, B, and C) will answer the fllwing questins in their graphic rganizer: What is the type f pllutin? [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 1: Knwledge] What is the surce f pllutin? [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 1: Knwledge] Identify ne animal affected by the pllutin. [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 1: Knwledge] Describe the effects f the pllutin n the animal and its habitat. [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 2: Cmprehensin] The middle level grup (B) and the high level grup (A) will additinally include: What examples can yu find f slutins t reduce this type f pllutin in the future? [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 3: Applicatin] The high level grup (A) will additinally research the questin: Can yu identify anther animal affected by this type f pllutin? [Addressing Blms Taxnmy Level 1: Analysis] Page 3 f 13

4 As students wrk with their team members, teacher will mnitr and give assistance as needed. Infrmally interview each team f students abut their research prject as they are wrking. Ask the fllwing questins: What has yur team learned thus far abut effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats? What has interested yu the mst? Why? What wuld yu like t learn mre abut? Why? Use this infrmal grup interview t evaluate whether students are ready fr the pst-assessment activity. When each team has cmpleted the prject, allw the teams t share their findings and their finished prduct with the class. Cnclude the activity with a discussin abut what lessns American citizens can learn abut pllutin. Onging Assessment: Use the Graphic Organizer t cntinue assessment f student participatin in class activities. (See attached Graphic Organizer.) F. ADJUST ASSIGNMENTS FOR STUDENT APPLIED PRACTICE: Each student will individually reflect n what was learned abut the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats thrugh a jurnal entry, pster r PwerPint slide shw. Students will use the infrmatin cllected in their graphic rganizers t cmplete their chsen prjects and may add additinal infrmatin if desired. Students are expected t include infrmatin frm each f the clumns in their respective graphic rganizers. Students will chse ne f the fllwing prjects: Jurnal Entry: Students will write a jurnal entry detailing their research abut the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats with a minimum f 3 paragraphs. Illustratins may be added if desired. PwerPint Presentatin: Students will create a PwerPint presentatin abut their research abut the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. They must remember t cite surces fr any phtgraphs used frm the internet. Pster: Students will create a pster illustrating yur research abut the effects f pllutin n animals and their habitats. Students shuld label all key elements in yur pster and include a minimum f 5 sentences explaining their research. G. CONDUCT POST-ASSESSMENT FOR STUDENTS TO DEMONSTRATE KNOWLEDGE AND COMPETENCIES: The jurnal entry, pster, r PwerPint presentatin will be assessed with a Pst-Assessment Rubric. (See attached rubric.)
