Teacher: "Good morning! Today we explore the amazing homes of plants and animals: habitats. Let's warm up! You have 2 minutes. On your mini-whiteboards, match the habitat name on the left with one defining characteristic on the right. I'll project the list. Timer starts... now!" Projects slide: 1. Desert - a. Frozen ground, low shrubs 2. Ocean - b. Very little rainfall, extreme temperatures 3. Rainforest - c. Salt water, vast and deep 4. Tundra - d. High biodiversity, dense canopy "Time's up! Hold up your boards. Great! Who can give me a full sentence? 'A desert is a habitat with...' Yes, very little rainfall." |
Students work individually. They read the projected pairs and write the correct matches (1-b, 2-c, 3-d, 4-a) on their whiteboards. They hold up their answers. Volunteers formulate sentences: "A desert is a habitat with very little rainfall." | Descriptors only (no points): • The student attempts to match the habitats. • The student participates in the follow-up discussion. |
Projector/Screen, PPT slide with matching task, mini-whiteboards & markers, timer. |
