TLS3003 (10E20E50E) Session 6 Tutorial Activity 2 by Min YANG https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj Decide in which subjects you will implement the integrated curriculum (choose two or three subjects). For each subject, design a meaningful learning activity. For each activity: 1. Describe 1 or 2 learning outcome(s) (i.e., what students will know or be able to do after doing the activity) 2. Describe the main task and/or sub-task(s) en-us 2018-01-17 17:59:37 UTC 2025-10-26 05:41:57 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj/wish/222393608 10E Group1]]> 2018-01-18 12:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj/wish/222393608 Group 6 10E https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj/wish/222712150
(Science Education)
Learning outcome: 
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to recognise and label the organisms which live in the pound with the use of scientific terminology. 

Main task :
Students are given opportunities to visit ponds and take pictures of the organisms (plants and animals) there. Teachers will then collect the pictures displaying the organisms and introduce their characteristic features, such as their average size and eating habits.



(Art Education)
Learning outcome : 
By the end of this lesson, students will be able to develop a sense of aesthetic appreciation of nature through drawing.

Main task: 
students are given opportunities to draw living things around the pond. Teacher will scaffold students’ learning by painting a picture for them. Students will be taught with some basic painting skills

Learning activities: 1) read about the biological structures of organisms living in the pond and that of those living in on the land 2) use microscopes to observe two pieces of specimen, each taken from organisms living in two different places, i.e. the pond and the land and draw the observations 

Learning outcomes: 1) Students will be able to identify the differences in the biological structures of organisms living in the pond and on the land 2) Students will be able to use scientific methods, in this case the use of microscope to study closely the biological structures of specimen taken from the body parts of the organisms under investigation. 


Subject: English

Learning activity: Read the poem about pond life  (Who lives in the pond?)

Learning outcomes: students are able to use the words to name the elements in the pond life 

Main task & sub-task: match the words and the pictures


Who live in the pond?

Ducks live in the pond.

They quack and dive

Frogs live in the pond

They croak and jump

Fish live in the pond

They dart and swim 


Subject: Art


Learning activity: Draw the picture of pond life

Learning outcomes: students may have the ability to recognize the animals that living in the pond according to the specific characteristics.

Main task & sub-task: Start by teaching the students how to draw a frog step by step; add other relevant elements by students

*Sub-task:
The students are asked to think about and name a few songs that could relate to ponds or the animals they could see in the picture.
They could learn music in a more interesting way and that would have more motivation in learning when the material is what they had come up with instead of receiving it from the teacher passively.

*Main task:
Write a poem or lyric for a song. The teacher here is to provide them with a basic melody, so that the students could be aware of the amount of words they should contain in their work.
Students could understand more about the relationship between a melody and its lyrics. They could also learn how to make lyrics rhyme in a more relevant way.

Q1: How did you (students) design the lyrics to make them fit into the tempo of the melody provided by me (teacher)?
Q2: Tell the reason why you (students) design the lyrics to rhyme or not to.]]> 2018-01-19 12:44:44 UTC https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj/wish/222750948 10E Group 5 s1121078 https://padlet.com/myang9/uf1r1pshcwaj/wish/222783855 Subject 1: Integration of Visual Arts education in English Studies

Two focus questions: 
1. What is a pond and how does it look like?
2. What can be found in a pond?

Activity: Draw a pond on a A3 size paper and share their artworks with other classmates in front of the class.

Sub-tasks:
1. Teacher talks about "pond". (What is a pond?). Perhaps, shows a picture (optional). While talking about it, the teacher simultaneously asks small questions such as "what do you think can be found in there?"

From there, teacher can expand students' vocabulary about pond:
-water and land animals (ducks, gold fishes, frogs, tadpoles, snails)
-water plants (water lilies), grass
-stones, pebbles

2. After dedicating 10 minutes for pond creatures discussion, teacher asks the students to design their own ponds. "If your house/backyard had a pond, how would you like it to look like?". Students are then given the materials for their drawing and ask them to name their ponds.

3. Teacher asks the students to individually present their personal ponds and explain (with the new words they learned) what is in their pond and why they chose the particular title for it. Presentation will be assessed.

Materials: 
Drawing papers
Postercolor
Brushes
Transparent coloured papers
Craft materials like glitter, ribbons...

Learning outcomes:
1. Students will be able to identify a pond and accurately articulate the vocab learnt about the pond.
2. Students will be able to make use of different materials to express themselves and enhance their creativity.
3. Students will know how to share their ideas with others through verbal communication and learn to appreciate others.

Focus question:

1. What animals and plants could you find in the pond


Main task: 
The students should plan writing a short paragraph of a recount on their day at the pond and what they have seen there

Learning outcome:
Students should be able to know what kind of animals and plants they can find in the pond.

Subject 2: General Studies

Focus question: 

What can be done to maintain the life at the pond and keep it clean?

Main task:
Students should discuss how they can conserve the pond and keep it clean (prepare for the discussion)

Learning outcome:
They will be more aware on the idea of conservation and some environmental protection strategies
