The 2 day lesson plan outlines research and presentations on the habitats of Georgia, with students divided into groups to research and create posters on a assigned habitat. On the second day, groups will present their research while other students take notes, then each student will make an informational book compiling the research with drawings and details on the different plants, animals, and regions. The lesson aims to teach students about the various habitats in Georgia and have them communicate their findings.

Instructional Aids/Strategies Sequence of Activities 5 Set Induction Review definition of habitat. What are some animals that live in Georgia? 10 Read Pop Up Book See Book Day 1 Research Instructions: 1. Divide students into 5 groups 2. Assign each group a habitat to research 3. For each habitat, students should find a description of the habitat, 5 animals that live there, and 5 plants that are found there 4. Then, the students should make a poster on the large paper to share their research with the class Note: - Each student should have a job which can be decided by the group members - Jobs include: Habitat Description Researcher, Animal Researcher, Plant Researcher, Writer (for poster), Presenter, Manager (keep everyone on task and make notes about everyone’s participation. - Some jobs may not be used depending on number of students per group Day 2 Activity 1. Every student will receive a note taking guide (see handout) 2. The groups will present their research one at a time 3. As each group presents, the other students will be filling out the note taking guide 4. Once all groups have presented and every student has filled out the note taking guides, each student will choose 7 pieces of construction paper to make a book 5. 3 holes will be punched in the paper and string will be used to bind the books together 6. Students will make a book of the habitats, gluing the notes taken to the left page and drawing the habitat on the right. Students can either draw plants and animals or the teacher can make note of the animals researched on day one and make a handout with pictures of the plants and animals for students to cut out and glue to their drawing. A map of the habitats’ locations in Georgia can be included for their title page.
