Lesson Structure

Step Number	Step Title	Length	Details
1	Introduction	5 mins	Begin with a brief discussion on goats. Show pictures and ask students if they've seen goats before. Play goat sounds to engage interest.
2	Video Presentation	5 mins	Show a short video clip that highlights different breeds of goats. Pause occasionally to ask questions about their characteristics.
3	Group Discussion	5 mins	Facilitate a discussion where students can share what they learned. Prompt them to identify similarities and differences among the goats seen in the video.
4	Grouping Activity	10 mins	Divide students into small groups. Provide pictures of goats and chart paper. Students will group goats into categories based on size, color, and breed, using stickers to indicate their choices.
5	Wrap-Up	5 mins	Review the activity as a class. Ask each group to share one thing they learned. Highlight the importance of grouping animals and their diversity.
6	Homework Assignment	5 mins	Hand out a simple worksheet for students to draw their favorite goat and label its characteristics. Collect worksheets at the end of class without presentations.
