Building Background
In order to build background, I will model and point to the locations of the vocabulary
words defined on the skeletal template. In addition, students will use the knowledge
they already know about their bodies in order to futher their knowledge in this lesson.
Additionally, i will have students work in small groups in order to support all students,
especially ELL's.
Links to Experience:
To link this activity to student's experience, I will have students either draw or discuss
in small groups what they already know about the skeletal system in their own bodies
or what muscles they use on a daily basis. I will ask students if they can provide or
think of any examples such as "I use my hip joint when I kick a soccer ball at soccer
practice!"
Links to Learning:
Students have already learned parts of the brain this year. This lesson will be a
continuation in a similar format t learning the parts and functions of a particular
system.
Key Vocabulary:
Stated above.
