In this lesson, students will research the physical characteristics, adaptations, and habitat of an animal and share their findings through a question-and-answer (interview) session with the animal that will be presented using a PowerPoint presentation.  Following their research, students will write a script they will use to narrate their presentation.  Images, text, animation/transition of slides will be evaluated along with the content and the writing mechanics.  This is a face-to-face format but could be virtual/distance learning.

Hi! My name is Pili Lee and I am a Speech-Language Pathologist. Everyday, I work with students on practicing their speech or language skills. Overtime, when students are close to reaching mastery, we often shift to practicing in a more natural and unstructured setting to help them generalize their skills outside of speech therapy activities. Although there are many different things we can do, I recently learned about “genius hour” and especially love the idea of helping my students discover and learn more about things they are interested in or passionate about. When my students get to work on things they love and are excited about, not only does it keep them motivated to practice their speech and language skills, it also prepares them to communicate well when it comes time they get to share what they love and know about in everyday life. Image created by Pili Lee using Canva
