1. 2 – 2 – 1 Lesson
4th grade Animal Research 2-2-1 lesson directions:
After all research is done, students display their posters on tables or attach them
to walls.
Each student will need a 2-2-1 Lessonpaper and fills in the blanks as you walk
around the room reading the posters. You should work quietly and alone. This is
not a time for visiting.
1st Row -
Give the names of 2 animals you liked the most and why you liked them.
Answers can be a word, a simple phrase or complete sentence.
2nd Row –
Give 2 things you learned that you did not know before – it can be about the
same animals as above or different ones. These must be in the form of a simple
phrase sentence.
3rd Row –
You give the name of 1 animal you never heard of before and would to know
learn more.
After finishing the 2-2-1 lesson, you read a book at your tables or in the
Everybody pit area. Reading only!!
When everyone completes the lesson, we will have discussion as time allows.
Optional*** Do this as a class where each group stays with their poster and visitors ask
questions of each animal. This works really well with buddy groups.
