The Magic Finger - Lesson 7: Birds in the Wild - PowerPoint

In Lesson 7, titled "Birds in the Wild," students embark on an exploratory journey to learn about various species of wild birds. The objectives of this lesson are twofold: firstly, to expand students' knowledge about different types of wild birds, and secondly, to compile information and images to create an informative poster on the subject. This educational experience is not only designed to be informative but also to foster a sense of responsibility towards avian wildlife and their habitats.

The core activity of the lesson involves a Wild Birds Research Task, where students select a specific wild bird to study in depth. They are tasked with creating a detailed fact file that includes the bird's habitat, diet, and the threats to its survival. Following the research phase, students are instructed to design a poster that features the name and an image of the bird, along with the gathered facts. A crucial element of the poster is to provide insights into how people can contribute to the protection of these birds, emphasising the importance of conservation efforts. This hands-on project encourages students to engage creatively with environmental education, promoting awareness and action for the protection of wild birds.
