Brief Description of Activity:

General Learner Outcome:

• Develop an awareness that there are names in French for everything that has a name in English.
• There are cultural aspects to how animals are understood and utilized.

Specific Learner Outcomes:

• Students will be able to match pictorial representations of animals with the names, orally or written.
• Students will be able to use a given link and interact on the webpage to demonstrate their animal recognition skill.

ICT Outcomes:

 

C.6.1.3    use technology to support and present conclusions

 

C.7.1.3   draw conclusions from organized information

 

C.7.1.4   make predictions based on organized information

 

P.5.1.2   access hyper linked sites on an intranet or the Internet

 

Rationale for Computer Integration:

 

These sites were chosen specifically to enable the students to recognize and match the animals to the French spellings.  The first website activity is based upon spelling some common animals and the second site is to add recognition to a vast number of creatures.  The learner will get immediate positive feedback and if the answer is incorrect there is no response at all.  This allows individual learners with varying needs more freedom to work at their own pace.
