COURSE: Intro to Agriculture ScienceTITLE: Swine Ear Notching

EL LEVELS: Basic

MINUTES: 60 minutesLESSON AUTHOR(S): Sarah McMaster

Standard(s): Students understand the production of large D10.1 Know how to synthesize and implement optimum requirements for diet, genetics, habitat, and behavior in the production of large and small animals. D10.2 Understand how to develop, maintain, and use growth and management records for large or small animals. animals (e.g., cattle, horses, swine, sheep, goats) and small animals (e.g., poultry, cavy, rabbits)

Lesson Delivery (Lived objectives, Student Engagement (90-100%), and Pacing) Comprehensible Input (appropriate speech, context & visual clues, clear explanations, and scaffoldingongoing feedback and checking for understandingThe foundation: Lesson Preparation

The Big Idea(Concept):BTEOTLSWBAT identify what the ear notching place values are and apply that in reading and notching pigs earsAppropriate materialsAdapted Content Students have notes sheets and work sheets, lots of pictures and demonstrations

Meaningful activitiesEar notch ID practice from PP, Applying ear notching on work sheet, cut out assigned ear notches, ID ear notches and breeds on farm

COMPONENTSINSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE

Focus Phase: Framing the learning

FRAME THE LEARNING C/LOs Major concepts Itinerary Why objective is worthwhile Reasons for activities Criteria for success

PREPARE for INSTRUCTION Pre-assess academic background Build/Activate current knowledge; personal, cultural, academic (pre-teach vocabulary) Anticipate confusions and misconceptions

FOCUS LESSON Teacher ModelsI doPigs having ear notches are their vesrion of having a last and first name. Me llamo es Sarah McMaster. (Power Point Slide 24) Ear notching is a universal, permanent, and cheap ID System.Equipment/Tools V Ear Notcher (show tool) and Disinfectant (iodine)(PP Slide 25) The pigs litter number is on the pigs right ear, not your right. **Hold your ears** the right ear tells us the pigs last name. If I was the pig, my right ear would say McMaster. 5 locations for notches, each is assigned a number: 1, 3, 81, 9, 27 (uno, tres, ochenta y uno, nueve, y veintisiete). Everything except 81 can have 2 notches. The numbers must add up to the litter number. *We Do example 1*(PP Slide 27) The pigs PIG number is on its left **hold left ear** the left ear tells us the pigs first name. If I was the pig, my left ear would say Sarah.3 locations for ear notching, each assigned a number: 1, 3, 9 (uno, tres, nueve). The numbers must add up to be the Pig number. *We Do example 2*Now, we need to be able to read the pigs whole name. Slide 29 *Oral Review* (point to right ear) what ear is this? What does it represent? What number is each ear notch?(point to left ear) what ear is this? What does it represent? What number is each ear notch?Now, we need to be able to read the pigs whole name. (PP Slide 30) *We Do example 3***Pass out Work Sheet** now you can work together, but everyone doing their own paper

Practice Phase

Strategies(Questioning, scaffolding)

Interaction(Pair/Group work)

Practice & Application(Hands-on, authentic, integrated language skills)Guided PracticeWe do*We Do example 1* PP Slide 26 Right Ear practice as a think, pair, share*We Do example 2* PP Slide 28 Left Ear practice as a think, pair, share*We Do example 3* PP Slide 30 Combining Both Ear as a think, pair, share*Independent Practice* work by yourself, and then check with a neighbor when I say go*Oral Review* What do we use to make notches in pigs ears? (V-Notcher) Do we have to clean it between each pig? (yes, with Iodine)*On Board Review* Call students to individually draw notch on the pig drawn on white board

Collaborative PracticeYou do together

Independent PracticeYou do alone

Closure

REVIEW/ASSESSMENT Key vocabulary Check for understanding Regular feedback Review objectives1) Students will use scissors to cut out ear notches on individual sets of ears assigned to them

2) Students ID live pigs ear notches at the school farm & review breeds - at school farm, catch one pig at a time and have kids write down the pigs breed, litter number, and pig number for 6 pigs (go over answers after each pig)

Conclusion: Now you can identify each notchs place value, what each ear represents, and what its pig and litter number are no matter where in the world you are!

Rationale: Learning ear notching is an invaluable portion of swine production because it teaches problem solving in order to learn and figure out how to apply that knowledge. It provides a hands-on learning opportunity with practices that students can apply to other areas of learning based of what they did in class for this lesson.
