Our Pre-K class read many
books about sharks, watched a variety of videos and researched
some specific types of sharks on the internet. Students were
divided into groups and paired with older students in
Kindergarten to find out interesting facts about their specific
type of shark. Students dictated what they had learned to the
teacher who typed that into a class
Powerpoint presentation. Students then created illustrations
based on their research and what they had seen. The
illustrations were cooperative drawings with the Pre-K and
Kindergarten students working together. The powerpoint will be
used to share what they learned with other primary grade
classes. Due to schedule conflicts and the age of the children
involved the scope of the project was kept rather simple.
Standards and Learning Outcomes Students demonstrated their
learning through dictated narratives and drawings/illustrations.
Students used multiple sources to find information on their
specific shark.
Students worked cooperatively in small groups to create
drawings and work on their contribution to the class powerpoint
presentation.
