Zoo Animal Poetry

Lesson Plan

Many classes plan trips to the zoo to see the animals. Classes may study the animals in books and read many stories, or write original stories, but to really bring the facts alive using a video camera and poetry is very powerful. This activity was formulated to bring the animals into the classroom and the homes of the students. http://www.eduref.org/Virtual/Lessons/Interdisciplinary/INT0083.html Grade Level(s): Preschool, K, 1-2   Rate It
