Arts Now Learning: Magic Rocks [Pdf]

Curated by ACT

In this lesson plan, learners work in groups with each acting as a predator, prey, or family member in a particular habitat. They present their habitat performance to the class and students identify the habitat and animal relationships. Then, they complete a writing activity where they will learn about phonics by crafting animal sounds into onomatopoeic words and the class will create a digital ABC book of animal drawings and recorded animal sounds.
