Present Tense lesson using Google docs slide presentation

Google docs features many options such as slide presentations,table content and images to incorporate making it a great tool to deliver lesson plans. It is an excellent tool for distance teaching and learning that can be easily accessible through a Google account and it is free of charge.

I created a Slide Presentation using the setting available n on Google docs and made a lesson/course on Present tense ( sample here).

 

Enhancing Literacy for Grade1-3 Animal at risk of extinction Study

A fun way to sparkle interest into new literature and new vocabulary is for through the study of  Nature and Animals.  Kids are naturally curious, caring and passionate about their natural environment. Therefore it will be a great occasion for them to grow in awareness and develop a sense of responsibility by learning and discussing about the fate of certain animals on the verge of extinction and what could be done to bring about change.

 In this activity students will use the internet in class or at home if you home school and research an animal which is going extinct. 

Then they can research using educational websites such as 

http://www.kidsknowit.com/

  http://www.kidsbiology.com/animals-for-children.php or http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/.

They will find interesting fact and create a Power Point or Voice Thread with the help of an educator.  Power Point is very easy to use by kids who can copy and paste the pictures of their chosen animals and write in their own words what they have learned from watching videos and reading online!
