"Save the Sea Turtle Campaign"

2nd Grade

Objective: TLW create a design around the endangered species the sea turtle.

Media choices: Oil pastels, chalk pastels, watercolors, color tissue paper, sharpie marker, color construction paper.

Materials available for choice:

I have found that making the materials available everyday easier if you have a set place for them. I have a "wet" table with paints, brushes, containers, and "nasty" rags. A "dry" table with oil pastels, markers, chalk pastels, color pencils, yarn, and crayons. Under the "dry" table are the cardboard boxes with an assortment of cardboard scrap pieces, poster board scrap pieces and a box of color tissue paper. Another section of the room has the "paper" table. This table has several types and sizes of paper to choose.

White paper
Black construction paper
Color construction paper
Oil pastels
Chalk pastels
Watercolor
Tempera paints
Crayons
Markers
Color tissue paper

Presentation of the video by

I stop the video after the platter of foods we eat from the oceans. Discuss the video. How long can a sea turtle hold it's breath at rest? Think about that time (arrive at school until you leave the school).
