Objective

Materials Required

1. Multimedia support (tv/ projector/ tablets); prints if these are not working

2. 1 print per student of the worksheet

3. 1 kit with animal-shelter pairs per group

4. Vocab words/ flash cards (shelter) to add to list

Preparation Required

• Review all the linked resources thoroughly.

• Prepare ESR with the worksheet table filled out for all animal-shelter pairs in the kit.

• Please rehearse some additional details like key teacher actions, in-parts scripts, and examples thus highlighted that are mentioned in the lesson plan.

Key Avenues Of Learning

1. During the ip, help students who are unable to understand the task for either part 2 or part 3.

2. Do not give the answer, but since these are new question types, you can help with explaining what the question is asking.

3. Some of the tasks thus highlighted in the lesson can be chosen based upon your class’s readiness, rigour levels, and availability of time during the lesson.

4. Take time to practice the vocab building using the steps thus highlighted in the plan.

Opening | 03 min

INM | Part I | 05 min

1. Pose the question, why do we need a house to live in? Using responses from students, establish that houses provide us protection, warmth, comfort, and make us feel safe. We also call it our shelter.

2. Ask if animals also need shelter? Can they name any animal and its shelter?

3. Give time to students to think about it and write the objective on board.

4. Take some responses and establish that animals also need shelter like us. Ask for examples like where does a lion live, where does a dog live, where do birds live, etc.

INM | Part II | 05 min

5. Show an image of a bird’s nest and a tiger in a cave.

6. Facilitate a Think-Pair-Share by asking for 1 similarity and 1 difference between both the shelters.

7. Using responses from students, conclude that a similarity is that both living things need a shelter and the difference is that one builds it (the bird) and one finds it (tiger).

8. Inform students that today, we are going to learn about shelters of different animals and classify them based on whether the animal builds that shelter or finds it.

GP | Part I | 05 min

1. Make heterogeneous groups of 4-6 students and project the table in part 1 of worksheet.

2. Open one kit and model out the expected task, using the worked example, as follows:
1. Select the tiger’s cut out and show it to students.
2. Ask where it lives and find the right shelter from the kit.
3. Match the shelter with the kit. Show this carefully to all students.
4. Ask students if the animal builds it or finds it. Show the third column of the table.
5. Ask students where the tiger lives? on land? in water? in the air?
6. You can model this for another animal that builds its shelter too, like bird, ant, etc.

3. Distribute the worksheet and take a quick cfu on instructions.

Group Task | Part II | 10 min

4. Allow ~10 min for student groups to do the activity.

5. Circulate the classroom to offer support or push to students based on their needs.

6. Display the ESR and have students peer check each other’s responses.

IP | 12 min

1. Inform students that they have 2 challenges to solve, parts 2 and 3 in their worksheet.

2. Show this picture or ask students to look at it in the textbook at the end of chapter 3.

3. Inform them that in the picture, there is one animal whose shelter is not shown.

4. Ask them to find that animal and its shelter from their kit and write that in part 2.

5. In part 3, they have to find one animal that does not belong with others in the group.

6. Allow 6-8 minutes for students to attempt both questions.

7. Circulate the classroom to gather data on how students are doing.

8. Display the esr and have students peer check each other’s responses.

Closing | Part I | 07 min

1. Discuss how animals require shelter like us for protection, warmth, comfort, and to feel safe. Some animals build their shelter and some find it in their environment.

2. Explain the homework to students and instruct them to complete it.
