"EdZoocating" Children

EdZoocation - A Great Resource for New Teachers
As a future teacher, I really enjoyed how the article explained the curriculum design of the program. It shocked me when I realized that the format they used was similar to the Five “E” Model discussed in class. Each step the program took helped to increase and build on the content the students were learning. It reiterated the importance of allowing students to ask questions and search for their own answers. Knowing the importance of combining literature and science, I found great examples in the article on how to incorporate books and evaluation methods that test both content areas. An aspect of the EdZoocation program that I will keep in mind for my future students is the hands-on learning experience. That type of experience engages students in the content being covered, increases their curiosity, and makes the content they are learning more memorable and adaptable. Overall, this article has been very helpful in showing steps that can be taken to cover animal adaptations and habitats. Also, it has given great examples in classroom activities that allow students to explore and explain their content knowledge in individualized ways.
