Homework Assignment for Today (Level 2)

Go over all animal vocabulary on the website listed below, pick 3 animals (the animals we haven’t learned in class) to study, prepare a presentation to teach all 3 words to the class on Monday, Dec.19.  At the end of your presentation, the whole class should know all 3 words when you quiz them.  In other words, the whole class will be able to read all 3 words in characters and say the words accurately as well.  You will be graded based on a rubric (see below).  The presentation should be less than 4 minutes.  You will be told to stop at 4 minutes.  I suggest you to try your mini lesson at home, so that you know how to use your time effectively to finish your lesson on time and meet all requirements. 
 

Note: You WON’T earn any points for presenting the animals we have already learned in class.  You will earn a zero for not presenting in class on Monday and it can’t be made up.  Please be prepared!
