Finding
Marlin Lesson Plan
Unit Theme: Sea Life
Grade:
Third
Lesson
Topic: Australian Ocean Life
Lesson Objectives: The student will be able to identify the types of sea creatures and the sea they are in.
Instructional Techniques: Discussion, Lecture, Watching Finding Nemo, and Website game
Instructional Materials: Finding Nemo movie, Finding Marlin Website
Theoretical Perspective: This information will help the students understand the species of life living under water.
Procedure:
A. To introduce the topic, we
will have a lecture about all of the different sea life and seas there
are.
B. Discuss among the class about what they think of the sea life
Watch
Finding Nemo so they can see what everything looks like
Introduce them to the Finding Marlin Website
C. The students will answer each
question on the website until they answer each question correctly
leading them to the end
D. For those having the difficulties with answering
the questions, the teacher would eliminate on of the two options,
depending on how many there are to help them out. Also, by talking the
questions over with them to help them get a good understanding for the
questions.
E. Homework: Pick your favorite sea animal and write a paragraph about
why you chose them and add some fun facts about them.
Evaluation:
A. The student will be able to
identify the types of sea creature and the area they are in. We will
determine this by each student completing the website game and by the
homework assignment they will complete.
B. The concerns we have about
this lesson would be that the students have a difficult time completing
the website game. If this is a problem, we will have another discussion
in class to help further their understanding.
