Lesson 3: Creating the triorama
Introduction/Setting the Purpose:
Over the past few days, we have worked to research information about various habitats, its animals, and the danger they face for our trioramas and public service announcements. Today, we are going to summarize all the information that we gathered to begin creating our trioramas (instructions at the end of lesson 3).
Teacher Note: During this lesson teacher should provide a checklist of requirements for the triorama and public service announcement. Some ideas to consider in the checklist:
● Physical characteristics of habitat are accurately represented in the triorama
● The living things of the habitat are accurately displayed …show more content…
I can summarize and present information gathered about a specific topic. (W.3.2) (W.3.7)
Independent Student Practice:
● Students will summarize and represent the information that they have gathered while researching.
● Students will use the information that they have summarized to create a draft of their triorama I can ask questions to help me understand discussions, stay on topic and to help me connect my ideas with other people’s ideas. (SL.3.1(c))
Wrap Up:
● Review exemplar with students as they create their drafts.
● Highlight aspects from student created drafts to reinforce requirements for habitat triorama that students may have difficulty with.
Teacher Note: The following are step-by-step images on how to fold students’ construction paper to create the triorama.
1 - Place a piece of construction paper on your desk. The short end should face you. Fold the top-right corner to touch the left-side edge.
2 - Cut off the rectangular piece at the top of the paper leaving a folded triangle.
3 - Unfold the piece of paper leaving a square.
Cut along one of the folds to the center point of the square. (Lakeshore, …show more content…

5 – The end product is a triorama! Non-exemplars:
The following example is a non-example of a published triorama. While the triorama conveys a habitat, its characteristics of vegetation, and animals, it does not provide text features. The missing text features prevents readers to gain additional information about the habitat’s characteristics and living things within the
