Using my Five Step Method below makes learning about Ecosystems meaningful and fun for students.

Part 1: Hook’em with “Fast Facts True or False” Anticipatory Guide. Students predict the answers to guided questions at the beginning of the unit and then check-n-correct their answers after learning the information and at the end of the unit.

Part 2: Read-n-Visualize with high-interest informational passages about Ecosystems with real-life photographs written in kid-friendly language. Articles can be used as a unit overview, study guides, center (station) activities, group work, or even as notes for their binders or notebooks.

Part 3: Focus on Skills: to reinforce and enhance student learning with a variety of skill-based activities such as:

Fact vs. Opinion

Making Connections

Visualizing

Compare/Contrast

Vocabulary

Supporting Details and Main Idea

Part 4: Realistic Ecosystem Vocabulary Posters with real-life photographs to use on the document camera, interactive whiteboards, or perfect for bulletin board displays. You can either preserve these for another year or bind them together as a book for your classroom library.

Part 5: Show What you Know! Students quick check questions, writing prompts, engaging activities, and reflections to evaluate learning. Reflections are perfect for student portfolios and Parent Teacher Conferences.
