SQUID!! (Part One)

This episode has an integrated approach. We integrated science, reading, writing and art while exploring squid.

Video One shows the experiment of dissecting a squid.

Video Two shows the students taking part in a reciprocal reading lesson as they find out more about squid. They used a venn diagram to compare and contrast different types of squid.

Video Three- Students recording of the dissection ( Close up footage)

The learner created content shows a video the students have created showing their dissection, a piece of writing recounting the experience, work from the reciprocal reading lesson and finally a piece of art we created.

Extended Lesson Plan


Lesson Reflection

The last squid video was filmed by the students. The camera was held the wrong way, which means that it has is trimmed with black on the sides. They also accidentally stopped the camera at moments. But its real footage of a real classroom. Lots of chaos, but LOTS of fun.
