2 2. Lesson Goals, Outcomes, Objectives: 2.1. Instructional Objectives Following reading the story, An Alligator Ate My Brother, the students will make an alligator puppet and will draw at least three accurate pictures of animals that they eat inside the mouth of the puppet. (Cognitive Application Middle) The students will watch a video clip about the differences between alligators and crocodiles and then participate in further discussion of these differences. Once the students have learned about alligators and crocodiles they will place their description cards in the correct spot on the Venn diagram with 80% accuracy. (Cognitive Application High) After the students have learned the similarities and differences of alligators and crocodiles they will be given an activity page where they will be asked to color the crocodiles yellow and the alligators green with accuracy of four out of five colored correctly. (Cognitive Application Middle) 2.2. Relevant Local District Outcomes, State (KSDE.org) and/or National Standards: 1-LS1-2. Read texts and use media to determine patterns in behavior of parents and offspring that help offspring survive. 3. Assessment: How will you determine the extent to which students have achieved? 3.1.

Adaptations: - Describe materials and/or strategies you ll use to gear the lesson up and down to engage students with special needs, including Gearing down for students who may struggle with the lesson, (e.g., ELL, etc.) might include:
4 5. Integration: For students who may be struggling with the lesson a word wall, vocabulary chart, and pictures will be incorporated. If needed the pace of the lesson will be slowed to accommodate ELL students. 2. Gearing up for higher achieving students who may need alternate challenges such as: For students who show higher understanding, we will introduce additional vocabulary. During the alligator puppet activity I will ask them to name five animals that alligators eat and I may ask them to build their own Venn diagram following the group Venn diagram activity. Reading will be incorporated into this lesson through the anticipatory set and the reading of the story An Alligator Ate My Brother. 6.

Introduction - Describe things you ll do to get the lesson off to an engaging start, including): Anticipatory Set To grab the students attention I will first read the story An Alligator Ate My Brother by Mary Olson. Reading this story will introduce the students to the topic of the lesson as well as hook them. As I read I will ask for students participation in predicting what will happen next and what they would do in the particular situations that take place in the book. a. Communication of Objectives Following the anticipatory set and catching the attention of all of the students I will begin to dive deeper into the subject of alligators and crocodiles by stating Today we will learn more about the differences and similarities of alligators and crocodiles by completing the following tasks : Good morning students, my name is Miss. Schultz. Today I am here to teach you about alligators and crocodiles. We will mainly focus on how they are different and how you can tell them apart. First, we will start off by making a puppet of an alligator. We are going to discuss the types of animals that alligators eat and then draw pictures of some of those animals inside the puppet s mouth. After that we will watch a short video about the differences between alligators and crocodiles. We will talk more about those differences after the video and then we will build a Venn diagram together. Finally, we are going to do a worksheet where you will get to show me how well you can tell alligators and crocodiles apart. *7.2. Input The students will use the information from the following semantic and compare and contrast maps to learn about the similarities and differences between alligators and crocodiles. They will tests their knowledge by building a Venn diagram much like the one shown below.
6 Crocodiles: Build nests in the ground and cover eggs with sand to keep warm Lays on average 60 eggs at a time. Have a pointed snout that is useful in catching food Teeth can be seen when mouth is closed Small sensory pits cover entire body Similarities: Threatened species Good hunters Have a long powerful tail Can live in water or on land Cold-blooded Thick, scaly skin Hatch from eggs Alligators Build nests out of leaves, branches, and mud above ground. May lay up to 70 eggs at a time. Have a wide, rounded snout that is good for crushing Teeth are hidden when mouth is closed Small sensory pits found around jaw Lay up to 70 eggs at a time Pointed snout that is useful in catching their food Lay about sixty eggs at a time Have three eyelids, one for safe underwater sight Build nest above ground from vegetation and earth Can grow forty to fifty new sets of teeth in its lifetime Crocodiles Crocodilians Alligators Build nests in the ground and cover eggs to keep them warm Small sensory spots cover their bodies Muscular flap closes off mouth and breathing tubes to prevent choking Have a powerful tail that can lift them out of the water Teeth can be seen when mouth is closed Live around seventy years Live for thirty to forty years Rotting vegetation keeps eggs warm in nest Teeth are hidden when mouth is closed Jaw is covered in small sensory pits Snout is wide and rounded; good for crushing American alligators live in swamps and marshes in the SE U.S.
7 This template will be used to help students internalize the meaning of vocabulary words. Vocabulary Word: Definition: In My Own Words: A Picture to Help Me Remember: Crocodile Any of various large aquatic reptiles, chiefly of the genus Crocodylus, native to tropical and subtropical regions and having thick, amorlike skin and long tapering jaws. A large reptile with thick, leathery skin, short legs, and a tapered jaw. Vocabulary Alligator Word: Definition: Either of two large reptiles, Alligator mississipiensis of the southeast United States or A. sinensis of China, having sharp teeth and powerful jaws. In My Own Words: A Picture to Help Me Remember: A reptile with short legs, leathery skin, and a broad, short snout. Vocabulary Snout
8 Word: Definition: In My Own Words: A Picture to Help Me Remember: The projecting nose, jaws, or anterior facial part of an animal's head. The part of an animal s body projecting from their face, similar to a nose. Vocabulary Word: Definition: In My Own Words: Nest A similar structure in which fish, insects, or other animals deposit eggs or keep their young. Where particular animals lay their eggs and keep them protected.
9 A Picture to Help Me Remember: *7.3. Modeling The teacher will demonstrate the materials needed to make the alligator puppet. And will show the students how she made her own puppet. *7.4. Guided Practice The students and teacher will discuss aloud the types of animals that alligators may eat. Along with the teacher the students will draw examples of animals that alligators eat inside the mouth of their puppet. Following this activity the teacher will also touch on the kinds of animals that crocodiles eat, and will guide students through discussion. The teacher will demonstrate a video clip of the differences between alligators and crocodiles. Together, the students and teacher will then use pictures to describe more differences between the two reptiles. *7.5. Checks for Understanding The students will each be given five description cards. Each card will have a descriptor that identifies alligators, crocodiles, or both. The students will have the opportunity to place each of their cards on the Venn diagram. If the student is correct we will congratulate them. If they are incorrect we will work as a group to help the student
10 understand their mistake. Throughout the lesson, I will be checking for understanding by asking questions such as: What are crocodiles? What are alligators? What similarities do crocodiles and alligators share? What is the easiest way to tell crocodiles and alligators apart? 7.6. Independent Practice/Assignment The students will each be given a copy of the Croc-O-Gator activity page. Before starting we will review again one of the main ways you can tell crocodiles and alligators apart, the visibility of their teeth. Then students will be asked to independently color all of the crocodiles yellow and all of the alligators green. I will compare their accuracy to the stated objectives to determine whether or not the concept was grasped Closure, Wrap-up The teacher will conclude the lesson by introducing the animal family crocodilian, which the alligators and crocodiles belong too. She will then explain that there is another type of crocodilian that we did not touch on, the gharial. She will hand each student a picture of the gharial and ask them to research the difference between gharials, alligators, and crocodiles.
