Vertebrates and tree maps

This lesson is designed be taught face-to-face to a class of grade-6 ESL students inclassroom settings where access to multi-media facilities is available. It introduces tree

maps and their application, and it is a follow-up to previous science lessons on

vertebrates. Based on the approach of !L, b!, and !I, this lesson, with clearl"

defined learning ob#ectives, is intended to provide students with multiple meansinformation presentation$ activities designed to engage and motivate students, and to ta%e

account of their learning st"les and English proficienc" levels$ and multiple

opportunities for students to demonstrating their understanding and appl" what the" havelearned in the class.
