PURPOSE Why am I teaching this lesson? What do I want the students to know/to be able to do by the end of the
lesson that they could not do before? (LOs and SOs)

- By the end of the lesson, students will be able to identify the Antarctica and recognize the
features on this continent.

GROUPING: What is the group size? How is every student going to be able to participate? Will you be
differentiating and how?

1. During the activities part, the grouping strategy used will be flexible grouping which is putting
High, medium and low learners together. Each week the students have different seating
arrangement.

2. Students firstly, will have whole class grouping during the engagement stage. Students will set in
the plenary circle or in front of the board and they are going to listen to the teacher and interact
with her individually.

3. Then, students will work together in exploration stage which they are going to do the activity
(creating a poster) after the presentation. Student will independently also.

4. Lastly, 3rd graders will be in their tables working on the formative assessment that I would talk
before the activity about the (explanation of the second stage). Taking notes about Antarctica

student book(s) - Students have a notebook that they can put all the activities
sheets in it and important notes related to science + the key
terms of the lesson.

Expectation: Students will do the worksheet individually, while they are

going to work in groups as teams. I expect that students are capable to do
the poster and fill in their maps the information that they can get from the
video.

Key terms with definitions (and pictures if appropriate):

word glossary definition image

Continent One of the main landmasses of the

globe usually reckoned as seven in
number (Europe, Asia, Africa, North
America, South America, Australia,
and Antarctica).

South Pole The southern end of the earth's

axis, the southernmost point on
earth.

North Pole The end of the earth's axis of

rotation, marking the northernmost
point on the earth.
 Bachelor of Education, Primary Education (EPR) EPC3903

Glacier An extended mass of ice formed

from snow falling and accumulating
over the years and moving very
slowly, either descending from high
mountains, as in valley glaciers, or
moving outward from centers of
accumulation, as in continental
glaciers.

Location A place of settlement, activity, or

residence

Students Prior Knowledge:

- Students will be able to recognize where is the location of the Antarctica because they have
been taking about northern
- Antarctic in last Wednesday. Students will have a background that south and north
continents are very cold because they are in axis of the Earth.
Possible Problems :
Electricity problem (1):
- The Data Show may not work, so the slideshows will be printed in A3 papers and the teacher will
explain it orally and with visual pictures (PowerPoint and Key Terms Meaning).
Interaction problem (2):
- Students may not like the flexible grouping, and maybe they could not work in experiment
together.
Management problem (3):
- Students may not listen to the teacher and distract other students by chatting with them or
whispering.

Solutions for the Possible Problems:

Solution (1):
- Addition plan B which is A3 papers and laminated pictures of lesson.
- Teacher will orally explain for students and they will take notes normally (PowerPoint and Key
Terms Meaning).

Solution (2):
- Switching, Student (a) which does not like to interact or he is embarrassed, will convert his place
that he is feels comfortable with student (b).

Solution (3):
- The teacher will remind students about the classrooms rules at the beginning of the class. I will
use my mentor classroom management strategies. I will use the whole class individual and I will
apply my consequences in the classroom if one student are not listening at all.

Misconceptions:
- Students may not be able to get concept of writing in the Antarctica map.
Solutions of this misconception:
- I will orally simplify and model what we can do in the map. I will ask students to write what they
thought that Antarctica includes, and then they may write directly or memorize.

Solutions for other Misconceptions:

- I will write the sentences or the words that students need to write down in their activity
worksheet to make it easy if students ask about a word in formative assessment.
