Activity Three: S is for Save the Earth
For the book, "S is for Save the Earth". I will use the alphabet activity. Each student will get one letter of the alphabet and as I read aloud they will read the text and the information given. For vocabulary development, I will use the Frayer Model graphic organizer. Students will write the word or key concept, write the meaning using their own words, and write its characteristics; teachers will give an example and a non-example. Each letter of the alphabet is in poetry form. At the end of the lesson, the students who are working in groups of four will create their group's alphabet book. The science facts are given for each letter of the alphabet. Allow the students to explain them with the teachers' guidance. Teachers choose an alphabet and create a larger version, of the poem on chart paper. For handout, make smaller copies of the poem for the students (whole class). Read aloud the poem to the students. For the second reading, students work in pairs and read the poem together. Engage students in a discussion. Teach a mini lesson on how to write a haiku, model it and write teacher's haiku on chart paper. Tell the students to create their own haiku. The next meeting will be a science mini lesson on green chemistry's first principle. Create a teacher made assessment at the end the lesson and student/teacher made rubric.
