This lesson plan is for a 30-minute workshop on sea turtles for a Year 6 class. The objectives are for students to demonstrate understanding of a text by accurately drawing scenes from a passage. Activities include the teacher reading a passage using turtle dolls, putting students in groups to read scenarios and draw related pictures, and discussing ways to help sea turtles. Students will then view each other's work and answer post-reading questions before recapping the lesson techniques and dancing to a song.
