Over the course of the semester, a first-grade teacher has been reading fiction and non-fiction texts with students about the natural world. The words rocks, soil, water, streams, lakes, ocean, and wind have come up often in the texts. A recent science experiment asked students to describe the sizes, colors, and textures of different types of soil they gathered from a recent nature walk. The class walks to a nearby lake to look for frog eggs, tadpoles, and frogs after talking about the life cycle of a frog. They discussed the terms eggs, tadpole, gills, toad, frog, and leap. As part of each activity, the teacher adds to the word wall list on the wall of the classroom. Every day during class, the teacher points to the wall and invites the students to use the newly acquired terms in their writing and speaking.
After the trip to the pond, the teacher asks students to write a journal entry describing what they experienced during the field trip and to include a description of the life cycle of a frog. To accomplish this, students will need to include the terms eggs, tadpole, gills, and frog. She notices a group of English Language Learners, as well as some students with lower reading scores, are unable to describe the order of the life cycle correctly. Which of these extension activities would be the best for the teacher to implement to help students learn these vocabulary words and use them in their writing?
