Lesson : Language Arts
Topic : Habitats (Superminds Textbook)
Year : 2
Assalamualaikum and Hi!
I was pretty excited to share this lesson to all of you since its a new thing for me too! Well, thanks to the new syllabus in Supermind Textbook which included a geography topic about habitats. In this section. habitats that being shown involved animals that the pupils barely knew. So, I took this chance to introduce them to the world!
First, I discussed and talked about the habitats with the pupils. We referred to the content in Supermind Textbook page 78 and 79. I also printed the some pictures of the animals and laminated it, then asked the pupils to paste it on the habitats written correctly. Believe me, the pupils were very excited to see the pictures. I was planning to make it into puzzle form but I knew that I will be run out of time if I did that. So, that's why I did this.
Then, I showed maps of the word which included animals in it. I downloaded these two maps and saved in into pdf form. Print it in poster format (four A4 papers - landscape), laminated it and show it to the pupils. Well, something just like below :
After that, I pasted these two maps on different places around the class. Then, I distributed a world map template (see below) to each pupils. I just printed it in A6 size (One A4 with four pictures of world map) to save the use of papers.
So, I just simply asked them to colour the our country, Malaysia in red in colour. Before that< I explained to them about each continents and where is Malaysia and Semporna located on the world map. I explained the RULES :
1. Look at the maps
2. Choose only two animals that you liked the most among all. They only needed to draw it in that particular country or countries that they have chosen.
3. Colour each continent with any colours that you liked.
And... the activity began with pupils tried their best to draw animals that they liked as well as easy for them to draw on the world map template given. As you can see the pictures below, just see how much they enjoyed it.
He was confused about the location of West Malaysia. But, I've corrected him on that.
He drew a penguin!
I loved it when the pupils asked lots of questions about other countries, which makes me even want to learn more and more. I've provided them with ample information to at least gave them overview about what are there in the other sides of the world. This lesson was truly a new experience for the pupils as well as for me. For that, I even bought plenty of books related to the world such as about animals, the wonders of the world and also about spaces discovery for my next lesson. Let's learn together, kids!
Anyway, thanks for reading! ^^
