The unit was modified because several lessons and vocabulary terms were taught in the students' native language (Spanish).   Other lessons were conducted during ESL. Art activities were also implemented.

Instructional Objectives

Students Will Be Able To:

• Read, write, listen and speak for comprehension in English.

• Increase vocabulary in English and Spanish.

Students used technology to create a slide show using KidPix. They also completed several of the online activities such as the bat word search.

The students were assessed using the following: teacher made rubrics, peer evaluation, oral and written presentations and reports.

Feel free to modify lessons and activities according to your student's abilities and interests. Many online activities can be printed out if technology is not readily available.
