Year 2, just started a new unit/topic about extinction, endangered earth etc. The topic covers everything from why did dinosaurs become extinct to what we should do to protect endangered animals. I'm supply teaching this class on Tuesday and have to teach a 1 hour 'unit' lesson. Last week we made a class book after a brainstorm about the disappearance of the dinosaurs which went really well. I'm looking for inspiration - the regular class teacher is back next week and I only have the class for a day so not something which will drag on for weeks. I know I'll come up with something but just wondered if anyone had any brilliant ideas or lessons which went really well.
I'm still trying to make a good impression as I've just gone back to work after a 6 yr break
