Reviewing Learning Targets (5 minutes)

Read the first learning target aloud to students:

“I can infer about animal defense mechanisms based on information in pictures and text.”

Today we will infer about animal defense mechanisms, the topic we will be studying for the next few weeks. You will use pictures and text to do this.

Explain that the first word in the term

defense mechanism, defense - means to protect

yourself or keep something or someone from getting hurt.

The second word, mechanism, means natural reaction in response to something else. So...

the term defense mechanism is how animals react to protect themselves from harm.

Ask for a student volunteer to read the second learning target:

“I can support my inferences with details and examples from pictures and texts.”

Remind students that whenever they make an inference, they must support it with information from the text they are reading and thinking about. (Encourage them to try to come up with 2 or 3 supports)

Have students give a quick thumbs-up, thumbs-down, or thumbs-sideways to indicate how well they understand today’s learning targets.

This is one of the kids' favorite moments in Cape, an episode of the BBC series Africa: springboks pronking, or leaping high into the air - up to 13 feet!

In Afrikaans and Dutch, to "pronk" is to show off, though the reason that springboks pronk is not known definitively. They could be excited, agitated, exercising, spreading their individual scents, or showing off their fitness either for predators or rivals within the herd. Any which way, it's fun to watch.

Here's another example, filmed by a Going Africa Safaris:
