YAHOO! AT THE ZOO!!!
Process
1. The teacher introduces each animals found in the zoo through different songs related to the topic. Each day that the teacher introduces another lesson, any of the songs will be played for warm-up.
Songs:
2. A short video clip of an interview with children visiting the zoo talking about their favorite animals. Have the class talk about their favorite animals with their seatmates and then the teacher selects random students to share in the class.
3. Zoo Rules - The teacher talks about visiting a zoo. Introduce the rules inside the zoo and what to prepare when visiting the zoo.
5. Introducing our Local Zoo
A mini Macau Zoo at Flora Garden - at the foot of the hill, is a nice European-style park with a small zoo, an aviary and some landscaped gardens with man- made cascades. From the park, you can wind along the stone path that climbs to the top of the hill, passing by belvederes and small man- made waterfalls. For those who don't want to huff and puff all the way up can opt of taking the cable car, and enjoy much nicer views on the way.
Nestled against a hill side in Seac Pai Van Park in Coloane in a fan-shaped layout of about 3000m2, Macao Giant Panda Pavilion is designed to take advantage of combining the terrain's natural undulations with the architectural characteristics.

12. Group Activities:
Have a class make a group poster. Choose an animal category for each group/table; Wild animals, Birds, Aquatic Animals, provide pictures and have each member of the group cut and color the animals. Then the whole group would stick their animals in the poster. Show it to the class all the posters and make a whole class poster of a zoo. Randomly ask from each group to explain their craft and which animal they like and why.
Prepare pictures of people, places and animals found in the zoo. Let them make a story of their visit or dream visit to the zoo. Have them cut and paste and design their storybook. Show and tell to the class their story books.
Print out a template of a picture frame. Have the students bring it home and let them stick a picture of their visit to any zoo or a picture with their favorite animal together with their family. Let them design the frame and put a caption of where and when it was taken.
Note:
Create a Zoo Corner where all the crafts and artworks of the students are displayed. In this way, the students will be proud seeing their works and be motivated do better next time.
