The picture above is of a Bengal tiger. These majestic creatures are native to India and make up about half of the wild tiger population. One can find these canivors in the swamps, jungles, and dense forest hunting for prey. Their distinct coat patterns consist of a yellow/ orange body with black/brown stripes and a white belly. A fun fact about this beautiful creature is it a nocturnal hunter which means it hunts for food at night. The Bengal Tiger is on the endangered species list because of habitat loss due to deforestation and poachers. In order to help these endangered animals one can donate money and raise awareness to save their lives.
The paragraph above was created using online content construction to bring awareness to endangered animals. Online content construction is a key factor in the classroom because it demonstrates to students how to publish materials online using credible resources to gather information. Students need to know how to construct online content to learn how to use technology, research, and utalize credible sources. As a part of Orms Module 4, I have created a lesson plan on endangered animals that encourages students to do research using online databases. This lesson plan is a part of unit plan on the alphabet for kindergarteners. To link the alphabet to endangerend animals I am using the book, "P is Pangolin" by Anastasia Kierst, a book that uses both factors. After reading the book, students in groups will begin research on an assigned endangered animal. The assigment requires the following information: description of the animal, food it eats, habitat it lives in, fun fact, why it is endangered, and what can be done to help it. Similar to the paragraph under the picture of the Bengal tiger but in a poster board format. Once this project is complete, students will know how to conduct research and construct online content.
