* Identify and describe the key physical and behavioral characteristics of at least 12 common farm animal species.
* Explain the essential functions and economic contributions of farm animals in agricultural production, including the provision of food, fiber, and other resources.

Through a partnership and collaboration with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and as an administrative teacher of public educational programs for more than ten years, I have taught English and social studies classes, among other subjects, to middle and high school students. Our curriculum met the Missouri Learning Standards and prepared high school students for college. 

In addition, I have received over:

* 75 hours of professional development, specifically in English language arts writing courses
* 50 hours of professional development, specifically in history
* 12 hours of professional development teaching facts about people without personal viewpoints 
* 75 hours of professional development in diversity from all over the world and how to teach diversity

Detalles: Students will write a summary paragraph towards the end of class about what they learned in class. This course is designed to learn some key things about farm animals and how to write an effective summary paragraph. This will help the students to practice their summary writing. These summaries will be added into the FlipBook Final Project. Students can take a picture of their page weekly and submit for review.

In addition, students carefully construct a habitat or diorama to accurately depict an farm habitat. The students can get as complex or as simple as desired. The project is not designed to be costly. Students can draw/paint/construct their habitat. Each week, based on the farm animal we have learned, the student would then add that farm animal into their habitat. Students will present their final project during week 12 for final review.
