This lesson will present pertinent information on the gazelle, rhinoceros, wildebeest and hyena.  The class is highly interactive and students will be expected to participate and contribute to conversations throughout the class.  The slide show will include information on the land form that is the plain.  For each animal there will be several short informational text passages that will review diet, life cycle and characteristics.  There will be key vocabulary words presented throughout the lesson and included in the guided reading passages.The teacher and student will work to use context clues to identify and use the key words correctly.

Teacher expertise and credentials
I have been teaching animal science for 15+ years to student from Pre K up through 8th grade. I have studied animal sciences and led discussions on a variety of related subject with colleagues and students.  I have taken several classes about animals of the African Plains and the ecosystems of Africa. I am able to convey important details and information to students in a fun and interesting way. I am comfortable working with kids of all ages, but specifically enjoy this age group. I love seeing students excitement and enthusiasm for animals!  I enjoy hearing student own thoughts and ideas as they learn interesting facts and information on animals that they are interested in. I look forward to sharing this lesson with you learner!
