World of Insect

Subject: English | Class: 3 | Series: Leeds (SNC 2020)

Overview

This unit introduces students to the world of insects, focusing on ants. Students learn about ant body parts (six legs, two antennae), their homes (underground, dry and clean places), their food (small leaves, sweet fruits), and their habits (hardworking, disciplined, work in teams, move in queues). The unit also includes describing insects, a poem "Can you move with me?", strong and weak forms of have/has, insect riddles, invitation writing, syllable matching, and contractions.

Learning Objectives

After completing this unit, students will be able to:

  • Use pre-reading as a strategy to predict text through the title and pictures
  • Practice class talk to learn formulaic expressions for efficiency in speaking English
  • Recognize and articulate soft sounds of the letters c and g
  • Recognize and pronounce common two-consonant clusters in initial and final position
  • Demonstrate conventions and dynamics of oral interactions in group to exchange courtesies
  • Use appropriate expressions to offer and respond to greetings
  • Recite a poem with actions
  • Use critical thinking to respond to text by relating to own experiences
  • Use alphabetical order to arrange words
  • Recognize common and proper nouns
  • Recognize and use words opposite in meaning
  • Write syllabic division of a word for learning word meanings
  • Write sentences using correct capitalization, punctuation, and spellings

Day 1: Pre-Reading and Reading — All About Ants (40 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 26-27
  • Pictures of different insects
  • Board and markers

Warm-Up (10 minutes)

  1. Pre-reading questions: "Do you know what is an insect?" "Name some insects you see inside your house."
  2. Show pictures of common insects: ant, bee, butterfly, spider, caterpillar, beetle.
  3. Discuss: What makes insects different from other animals?

Reading Activity (25 minutes)

  1. Read the passage aloud:
    • Insects are small creatures with more legs and a hard shell. Most have wings and antennae. Many types, shapes, and sizes.
    • Body of Ants: Six legs, two antennae. Antennae used to smell, taste, feel things, and to talk to one another.
    • Home of Ants: Live as families in small holes underground. Like dry and clean places. Build more rooms for their kids.
    • Food of Ants: Eat small leaves, sweet fruits, and other things. Use antennae to smell food. Can carry heavy food. Leave a trail when going to get food, which helps them find home.
    • Habits: Most hardworking insects. Work hard in summer to collect food and make homes. In winter, live underground away from cold. Disciplined — always move in a queue. Divide work in teams.
  2. While-reading question: "Can you guess what they talk about?"
  3. Info Box: "In scientific language, the home of animals and insects is called Habitat."
  4. Students read silently, then volunteer to read sections aloud.

Day 3: Strong/Weak Forms, Syllables, and Contractions (40 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 29, 31
  • Notebooks

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  1. Ask: "Have you ever seen a dinosaur?" Students answer "Yes, I have" or "No, I haven't."
  2. Introduce the concept of strong and weak forms.

Strong and Weak Forms of Have/Has (10 minutes)

  1. Teach using the textbook examples:
    • "Have you ever seen a dinosaur?" Strong: "Yes, I have." Weak: "No, she hasn't."

    • spi + gle = spider (spi + der)
    • wig + tle = wiggle (wig + gle)
  2. Students write meanings with teacher's help.

Contractions (15 minutes)

  1. Explain: A contraction is a short form of two words. An apostrophe (') takes the place of letters that are left out.

    • You + have = You've | You haven't
    • They + have = They've | They haven't
    • he/she/it + has = he's/she's/it's | he hasn't/she hasn't/it hasn't
  3. Practice exercise — write the contraction:
    • "I have called you many times." → "I've called you many times."
    • "He has not finished his work." → "He hasn't finished his work."
    • "She has cooked the food." → "She's cooked the food."
