Procedure 1. First students will do a pair-share activity. With their partner they will share what they know about rain forests and what they want to know. Then they will share 2 things they hope to learn in Eng-lish or Spanish. (Warm-up 2mins)

2. I will present the new vocabulary to the students. I will show them the flashcard with the image of the word and then show them the word. I will do this one time and then ask them to repeat after me. (5 mins)

3. The students will use the Paint program to create the rainforest and the animals they would hope to see. (5 mins)

4. Students will then work with a partner to label the animals in the rainforest. (3mins)

5. Students will participate in a game in either pairs or alone depending on the level of understanding of the material. (10 mins)

6. Final: Students will write two sentences describ-ing why they think the rainforest is important.

Assessment/ Evidence (Knowledge of Results) I will provide verbal feedback as the students are la-beling the animals in the rainforest. I will provide written feedback when I collect their sentences. I will collect the labeling of the rainforest and use that as a grade on a scale of how successful they were at label-ing.

Closure The students will write down two sentences which will be collected as they leave class. They will write why they think the rainforest is important. I also have a video to how them that talks about the environment and the issues we are facing.

Accommodations/ Support Staff I will be walking around and checking on the students and assisting when needed.

Review the activity I will review with the students what they have learned today about the rainforest and set them up for the next lesson that will talk about rainforest destruction and the importance of the plants and animals present.

Time Required For this class it will be 20 minutes if I were to do the whole lesson probably 40.

This lesson would be situated in a unit on Physical Environment, more specifically flora/fauna and quality of environment.
