Here is the link for my TLM:     https://coggle.it/diagram/YLCnaLwdFiA0h4L7/t/classification-of-animal

Topic: Classification of Animals

Class: VI 

Subject: Science

What is the TLM about?

The TLM I have designed is a graphic organizer created from coggle.it by logging into my Gmail account. It is the popular mind mapping map you can have it for such type of topic which is relevant and comfortable to use. The TLM is about the classification of animals for class VI science.  The animals are classified into five categories that are reptiles, mammals, birds, fish, and amphibians. Under each categories there is mention of its features and characters and also cited some animals that fall in. This Graphic organizers will let children  easily grab those types of animals and its characters very fast. 

Objectives of this TLM

This TLM will help children to know the five categories of animals. Next they will understand the meaning of each type categories ( reptiles, birds, mammals, amphibians, and fish) If I cite examples of  'Bird', those animals that have feathers and wings to fly. Finally they will be able to identify some of the animals that falls under each categories. 

When it is used?

I will use this TLM in lesson development. In order to understand that animals are classified into five categories I will use above graphics organizers TLM in order to input those information about each type categories. I can even print few copies and provide individually or in groups to refer as notes.  This TLM is created in a simple and attractive form where children will get the idea where to categorize some of the animals during activity time.

How I designed this TLM?

First I logged into Google and typed Coggle.it and it displayed  from there I login from my Gmail to create this graphic organizer to present this topic in a simple and easy way.

Next in order to draw diagram I used its features such as I can add title and insert shapes to write topics. 

I can add another title by clicking  on the plus sign where it appear like a branch to line with another word.

Then I choose shapes for each categories like    reptiles, birds, mammals, fish and amphibians with different colours to recognize it.

I also choose style for my branch and coloured appropriately under each type. I also added image in each categories where children can see and know the type of animals under each categories.

After that I arranged those categories in sequence and web into simple and easy diagram and also removed  item that is not appropriate. So in that way finally designed graphic organizer with the help of coggle.it

So in next time I can login again from my Email to join coggle.it  to revisit and make changes in it. The pdf is automatic saved in coggle.it. I have downloaded pdf and image as well. 

 Activity

 

Instruction

This worksheet is printed and given in each group where each members are going to discuss for five minutes before they write answer in these worksheet.  There will be around 10 to 15 statements like stated above along with five types of animals in right column. 

In the above worksheet children will be asked to state true for each type of animal.

Examples in the first statement, 'It is cold -blooded' and there are five types of animals listed in each column. What children will do is give tick which ever type of animals characters is true for this statement. So the first statement  is true or match to fish, reptiles and amphibians because they are cold-blooded animals. 

After that they finished writing answer in the worksheet, they will be asked to exchange the sheet to other group and check their answers. In supplement to that I will evaluate and add on their answers in the whole class.

Thank you.
