Lesson Plan Supplemental Materials

In my lesson plan, Conservation Around the World, I am addressing the common core standard for Earth's Resources which discusses the "availability of Earth’s resources, extraction of the resources, contamination problems, remediation techniques and the storage/disposal of the resources or byproducts and the topic of conservation, protection and sustainability of Earth’s resources.” By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify various conservation organizations and what species they protect along with their prominent figures. Students will also recognize various endangered species discussed in class and their success or failed attempts to reestablish populations.

To begin, I will review previous lessons topics which link directly to the topics of endangered species and wildlife conservation by giving my students a Kahoot! on the Five Major threats to Wildlife (HIPPO acronym).

To assess students prior knowledge on the topic, they will complete one square in the first two columns of this KWL chart. At the end of the lesson, students will return to the chart to complete one square in the final column.

 Halfway through the lesson, students will be creating an informational .PDF to provide a quick insight into some of the most endangered species around the world, and the main threats to the populations. Students will then link their .PDF's to a QR code and submit on a Google Doc.
