Rating
2.0 stars
Overview:

Description:  This lesson was created for a 9th grade integrated biology/English classroom with a focus on out door learning.  In this lesson, students will practice their scientific observation skills and reflect on their experience in this out door observation activity.   Students will also take these initial observations and extend them in their writing as they explore various forms of figurative language.  Finally, the reflections will be posted on their blog for their classmates to view and respond to as we begin to practice feedback on each other's writing.

Note:  Before beginning this unit, decide on where students will house their blog posts to allow for feedback from peers.  Keep in mind the time students might need to spend developing and working with the blog before actually posting to it.   A Google Classroom discussion post may work as well, or even better.  Additionally, this lesson also addresses the NGSS Science & Engineering Practices.
