Lesson Title: Animal Environments for Grade 2

Type of Web 2.0 Tool: Wiki - create your own ending

SOL and Secondary Objectives Related to the Lesson: Students will learn about animal adaption and habitat areas. They will learn about animal's as predator and prey and they will determine which animal is suited for a particular environment.

Brief Description of Overall Lesson: I will create the wiki page that will describe different habitat/environmental situations. One example would be this: "an animal is walking through a savanna and comes to a tree with wonderfully looking green leaves. This animal looks up and notices that they tree is 15 feet tall, however, his animal cannot climb trees or jump that high. Which animal do you think could eat these leaves?" I would give them 3-4 choices (photos of the different animals) and they would have to click on the correct answer. If they correctly or incorrectly, they would be directed to a new wiki page that described the animal. We would discuss why that animal would/would not be the best choice. We will have a small true/false test after completing all of the animals listed on the wiki home page.
