This podcast explains how to develop a theme related to 'A trip to the Zoo' to teach your students in Grades K-3.
It covers how to identify student outcomes, content, and assessment strategies.
I always use a culminating activity at the end of a theme I am teaching and this is also included.
"I can" statements are integrated using reading, writing, and speaking skills.
I also include step by step suggestions of activities to encourage your students to participate in learning names of animals, asking questions, and giving information in Chinese.
