Calling all shark fans! If you like sharks, this is the class for you! If you are scared of sharks and blood, this is not the best class for you. We will start class by looking at a megalodon shark and asking learners what they know about megalodons and what they want to learn about megalodons. Learners can explore where they lived, what they ate, how big and strong they were, and why they went extinct. They will see pictures or fossils and scientist recreated images of their jaws and body. Learners will be encouraged to ask questions and share their thoughts and ideas. Learners can use the graphic organizers provided to organize their thinking and learning. After we finish the slides, we will take a Nearpod Quiz about megalodons. Learners can also write an acrostic poem about megaldon sharks. For an optional extension activity, learners will be provided a text to read and answer questions. If time allows, we will play a megalodon fact game. Learners can pick a number between 1-10 and learn a fun fact about the megalodon.
