This document outlines a lesson plan about animals. The lesson has three main parts: 1) A warmup activity where students look at pictures of animals and identify characteristics of different types. 2) Students are introduced to the five groups of vertebrate animals and farm animals vocabulary. They complete a wall chart classifying animals. 3) As a conclusion, students watch a video of Old McDonald's Farm. The goal is for students to learn to recognize animal names, classify animals into groups, and describe animals orally and in writing. Student understanding will be assessed through observation and an activity describing an animal.
