III. Subject Matter/Content (prerequisite skills, key vocabulary, big idea, outline of
additional content)
A. Prerequisite skills
1. Basic knowledge about animals in their environment.
B. Key Vocabulary
15. Ask the students if they remember why animals migrate during the
winter.
16. Explain to students that animals migrate to find warm weather and/or
to find food.
17. Tell the students they are going to create a Canadian goose using a
paper towel roll and paper. Tell the students that you will hang these
from the celling when they are finished.
18. Pass out supplies to each student. Each student needs 1 paper towel
roll, one pre-cut black head, one pre-cut brown wing set, 2 googly
eyes, and black feathers. (see attached)
19. Tell the students they will be creating their goose step-by-step.
20. Tell the students to grab their wing set. Have them put some glue on
it and place feathers on top of the glue.
21. Next have the students glue the wing set onto the paper towel roll.
22. Tell the students to glue the eyes onto the head.
23. Tell the students to glue the head onto the paper towel roll.
24. As students work and the teacher gives directions, the teacher will
walk around the room to help students.

goose to the back table to dry.
26. Ask the students if they remember what letter shape birds will fly in

in a v shape.
30. Have one group go at a time.
31. When done, put the tables back.
C. Closure
1. Tell the students they are going to do a picture sort. They have to
place animals that migrate on the right side and animals that
hibernate on the left side. Pass out scissors and glue. (see attached)
2. Have students work on exit slip. Walk around and help as needed.
3. Tell the students that they are going to have review activities about
winter for tomorrow.
D. Accommodations/Differentiation
1. Luke, a student with autism, will have preferred seating in the
classroom close to the teachers desk. Luke can work with his class
buddy while making the book.
2. Students can draw the animals instead of coloring and cutting out the
printed animals. Animal cards can be precut for students during the
animal sort exit slip.
