| 4 | Group Presentations | 5 minutes | Have each group present their findings briefly to the class while listening and taking notes on others’ presentations. |
| 5 | Homework Assignment | 5 minutes | Assign homework related to goats. Explain the homework expectations clearly and distribute the assignment sheets. Ensure students understand how to complete it. |
"Good morning, class! Today, we’re going to learn all about goats. Goats are fascinating animals that play an important role in agriculture. To start off, I’m going to show you some pictures of different goat breeds."
(Show pictures of goats on a screen or printed handouts.)
"Can anyone tell me what they know about goats? What are some characteristics of goats?"
(Encourage students to share their thoughts. Highlight answers like 'they have horns', 'they eat grass', or 'they can climb'.)
“Great job! Now let’s talk about some biological characteristics of goats. Did you know that goats are known for their strong digestive systems? They can eat a variety of plants and are very adaptable animals. Now, let’s move on to our next step.”
“Now that we know a bit about what goats are like, let's discuss why they are important in agriculture. Why do you think farmers might choose to raise goats?”
(Prompt students with questions like: "What do goats provide?", "How do they help farms?", or "Can you think of any products that come from goats?")
“Excellent insights! Goats provide milk, meat, and even fiber. They also play a role in land management by grazing. Keep these points in mind as we dive deeper into our research activity.”
“Alright, now we’re going to break into small groups. Each group will have two students. I will assign you a special aspect of goats to explore. You will have 10 minutes to research and prepare a small presentation for the class.”
(Assign groups specific topics such as diet, habitat, uses in agriculture, etc. Hand out the printed materials.)
"Remember to use the materials provided to you—there are handouts with goat facts and pictures. After 10 minutes, each group will share their findings. You can use your group activity worksheets to help organize your thoughts. Ready? Go!”
(Walk around to assist groups and ensure they stay on task.)
"Time’s up! Now, let’s hear what each group learned. Who is ready to present first?”
(Allow each group to present their findings. Encourage listening and note-taking by prompting students to ask questions after each presentation.)
“Great work, everyone! You did a fantastic job sharing your research with the class. Be sure to remember some of these interesting facts about goats.”
“Before we wrap up, I have a homework assignment for you related to goats. You will receive a sheet with all the details you need.”
(Distribute the homework assignment sheets.)
“Your homework will involve writing a short paragraph about what you learned today and how goats are significant in agriculture. Make sure to explain what role they play in farming and what products we get from them.”
“Feel free to be creative, and remember, you won't need to present your homework in class, but I will check it for completion. If you have any questions about it, now is the time to ask!”
“Thank you all for your participation today! Don’t forget to bring your homework back next time, and I’m looking forward to seeing what you’ve come up with!”
