Endangered animals/ Biodiversity with full lesson plan

(0)
Updated: Great lesson that I completed in several schools. It can fit in 1 hour, or easily be 2 hours. Starter - differences in words Differentiated reading variety: less options from easy to hard (polar bear has missing information for higher ability to think of answers). Full options provide a range of animals if you wanted to provide more variety, have a longer lesson etc. Images and maps included Endangered > Extinct line with examples included for understanding (helps lower ability a lot) Mind map - with examples Definitions included - break down of words (included in the lesson plan for how to do this) Reading information - highlighting (make sure those with polar bears know they don’t have the 2nd highlighter which is prompted on PPT but depending on your students’ ability you may need to tell them). The original reading can be changed to beginning if the school runs reading session routines, this will make them more familiar with the text and ready for the task. Create a fact file. Success Criterion included. Challenge included. Fact file works better as students focus on writing (e.g. Yr 8s mixed ability did half a page in 5 minutes). I used this class in the best schools in Basingstoke. If you have more time, you may want to do a poster but ensure they do not spend ages designing, writing a title or drawing pictures as this shows no application of knowledge. Students present their work. Depending on time and resources, you may want a table (removed from PPT) for them to complete as students present. Otherwise just some simple notes for extra information, but their in depth information will be displayed in their animal/ work. Plenary. If time pair discussions, then class. In PPT, I’ve set as class vote due to time. Reading materials include pictures, graphs, maps, statistics etc. so they have to think about the information. Check students’ reading ages before you give them an animal. Easiest is turtle, then Panda. Majority of students like Panda level. Orangutan has the heavy text which should be given to those who enjoy reading and have a higher than average reading age. E.g. grammar stream students were given polar bear, elephants, orangutans (but kept some pandas for any students who may happen to struggle on this topic).

I’ve included lots of books and research that you need to read if you’re becoming a geography teacher. I’ve also made summaries of some of them in case you didn’t want to read the whole thing. The main book I made a bigger document, and in the book you can find a large table that separates sections well. These will be useful towards your assignments. My assignments were around 78 marks.
Bristol Regeneration Fieldwork Booklet

Bristol Regeneration Fieldwork Booklet

I included an example of a fieldwork booklet. It is adaptable and sections can be removed depending on how much time you have. This school was huge and they walked around separately as we had 4 buses of students. Since we walked, I was the guide and mentioned all the prices etc. The school is deprived so you need to address misconceptions during evaluation on whether it was successful or not as the students will think these big shops are amazing/ or unaware due to their hometown being small. With a different school, we did the boat tour instead so they were able to easily take photos to annotate, write a lot and complete a full booklet (different to this booklet). In that booklet, the main difference was we added a map of the locations the boat goes and labelled it. Students made notes on each part. The boat tour guide may know some things, otherwise I (and you) know the information already to share. On the boat tour, you’ll see the giant boat that Bristol paid millions to move a few yards down for “regeneration” of the food shops nearby. When walking, we never saw it. Bristol has a lot of history and original butts, cranes etc. in the area which people may not know. Things like vegetation drainage, use of brown field sites etc. I included some information for you in case you are unaware, and some articles. With other schools, they decided to not visit Bristol.
