There are 7 lessons in total. The students start the salmon unit by showing what they know and want to know using a KWL chart, next they read a story, participate in a labeling activity, create sentences using the word banks, draw and stamp a picture and end the unit by writing their own story demonstrating what they have learned.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> The original lessons are based on a Mapping Unit, but this unit is one of two additional units (salmon and whales). These activities allow students to learn about mapping, salmon and whales in an engaging, interactive and fun way!<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </body> </html> <html> <head> <style type="text/css">  </style>  </head> <body> About the Clicker Set<a class="eol_guard"> </a> In this open-ended speaking activity, students create an oral report about the life cycle of a salmon. It is an ideal group activity which can also be completed by individuals. Students can use the set to present to the class.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> <a class="eol_guard"> </a> Introducing and using the set<a class="eol_guard"> </a> <ul> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> On the start page, look at the pictures of the life cycle of the salmon. Use the pictures to introduce the topic or draw on students' previous knowledge to outline the stages together.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> Click on one of the pictures to open the recording page. Using the microphone button, get a student to record information about this stage.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> Students can record the remaining stages individually or in a group and then present their reports to the class.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> Listen to all of the recordings together using the speech bubble button on the start page.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> Students can read about the life cycle of a salmon in the set Read for All or Read for Some and so demonstrate their ability to extract relevant information from text. You may wish to have this set open at the same time so that you can find the relevant information. The Clicker Sets will appear on separate tabs at the bottom of the screen, and you can move between them as necessary. <a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> </ul> <a class="eol_guard"> </a> More Resources<a class="eol_guard"> </a> <ul> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> For other sets on this topic, search for animals on LearningGrids.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> <li style=" margin-top: 0;"> To create your own speaking activity sets like this, use the Quick Page Tell the Story Wizard in Clicker 6.<a class="eol_guard"> </a> </li> </ul> <a class="eol_guard"> </a> </body> </html> the eye the nostril the fin the gills the mouth the tail <html> <head> <style type="text/css">  </style>  <meta name="GENERATOR" content="MSHTML 9.00.8112.16437"> </meta> </head> <body style=" font-family: Sassoon CR; color: black; font-size: 24pt; font-style: normal; line-height: normal; font-weight: normal;" bottommargin="0" rightmargin="12" topmargin="0" leftmargin="12" contenteditable="false">  <a class="eol_guard"> </a> </body> </html> paint open paint pop up paint paint open paint pop up paint paint open paint pop up paint open paint pop up
