| Title | Sample Lesson Plan for Integrating Science in Language Classes: Fantastic Frogs |
| Body | From http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/materials_by_language/universal.html#new Using the Background Knowledge technique, the Spanish "Fantastic Frogs" lesson plan in The Elementary Immersion Learning Strategies Resource Guide guides instructors through a sample lesson integrating science in foreign language learning. In "Fantastic Frogs," instructors simultaneously teach students the life cycle of frogs and the language structure of sequences of events. Students learn words like primero, después, luego, y finalmente, and by applying the new vocabulary to talk about how frogs develop from tadpoles to adults, students can both practice and recall the vocabulary more easily. The lesson also encourages students to apply their previous knowledge of the life cycles of other animals to discover the similar life cycle of frogs. Students receive a worksheet depicting the various stages of the life cycle and have to cut them out and place them in order matching the correct descriptions in Spanish. For more information, go to http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/materials_by_language/universal.html#new . The lesson is available for download from http://nclrc.org/teaching_materials/materials_by_language/related_docs/FantasticFrogs.pdf . |
