November 20, 2014 Lesson Plan Activity Name: Puppy Play Subtopic: What do they do? Fact: How do they play? Vocab: jump, run, chase, hop, tug, exercise, leap, bounce Approximate Length of Time: 20 minutes Age and Number of Children: Kindergarten and 10 children Goal: To discover how child play and canine play can be similar and also differ. Domain: Physical Standards: Physical K 1.0 Students understand and apply movement concepts and principles to the learning and development of motor skills. Objectives: Students who participate in this activity will be able to 1. Show how animals (dogs) can move. 2. Describe how children and animals (dogs) differ in play. 3. Describe how children and animals (dogs) are similar in play. Outcomes/Abilities..Physical: Fine motor coordination, increased body awareness,
Abilities/Outcomes Cognitive/Perceptual: Verbal expression, Concept of difference, Concept
of similarity, Awareness of sentience of animals Abilities/Outcomes Social/Emotional: Sharing, Playing in groups, increased self awareness Content: Vocabulary words include types of movements ie. Running, jumping, chasing, etc. Facts: What other ways can dogs move? Can we (people) move like that too? Materials: Dog masks (ones the kids make or the ones teacher buys), stuffed dogs, a lot of space, boxes kids could crawl in. Procedure: Teacher will do a list of words that children will come up to the question, How do dogs move? Next, ask children Can you do that? Let the children pick their mask or toy and show the teacher how a dog would move by pretending to be dogs. If there is a movement children cant do (ie: wag their tails, bite, etc) ask them why they think that. Call them back to the circle or table and ask What can dogs and kids do that are the same? What can dogs and kids do that is different? Extension: If possible, teacher will show videos of dogs playing and ask the children if they can name the movements that the dogs are doing. Simplification: What are the dogs doing? Can you do that?
Evaluation: Direct observation.
What Next: If the lesson goes well, we can go into anatomy. What body parts do dogs have and are they the same as peoples. Or are they different. Evaluation of the appropriateness of the category (types of questions) used: Answer the following question: Did you use the best categories of questions or could have you used different categories? Defend your position. Perhaps in this case, it would be better to ask more open ended questions. But also not too open ended since this activity is about dogs and not all animals. Its about finding the balance of being broad but only broad enough for one subject at a time. Other questions that can be asked is, What do your dogs (assuming they have them) do at home? Let the children share their experience with their pets.
