Next, each child will introduce their bird that has that type of beak. After each group has had their turn, the class will return to their own classroom. Once everyone is seated, each student will take their turn doing a short presentation about their bird and the information they found relating to it. When the teacher asks a question, anyone can volunteer the answer unless it is about their bird. Before ending the unit, the students will also complete an evaluation form regarding what they learned about birds and their beaks.
Considerations Walk around and help students if they are struggling.
Make sure the children know they will be orally quizzed on the information their fellow classmates present about their birds. Check with the other second grade teacher the day before to confirm the time of the parade. Encourage group members to assist others in their group who may need some help in writing any of the information. Have the students count off to create the seven groups for the project. A second thing the students will be assessed on is the information they gather about their specific bird.
