Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Hand out the Resource: Habitats - teach me, tell me cards (pre-cut, one question and answer strip per child) from Lesson 3: Introduction to habitats. Explain to the pupils that they will teach each other all about habitats. Remind them of the following instructions:

  1. Walk around the room and find a partner.

  2. Read the question out and allow their partner to answer.

  3. If the answer given is incorrect, share the correct answer.

  4. Repeat with their partner’s question.

  5. Swap cards, walk around the room to find a new partner and repeat.

Remind the children that some cards are the same and that they will encounter some questions more than once. Explain that this will help them to become habitat experts.
