Lesson Development – ABC Model
A – Anticipation (Warm-up / Starter)
Time: 5–10 minutes
Ask learners: “Which animals do you see at home, on land, or in water?”
B – Building Knowledge (Main Lesson Body)
Time: 25–30 minutes
Content/Explanation:

- Emphasize the importance of caring for animals, explaining that humans are responsible for protecting God’s creatures.
- Use storytelling: narrate how God created animals and placed them in their habitats. Include examples of their unique features and how they adapt to their environments.
- Conduct a class discussion: “Which animals live on land, in water, or in the air?” Encourage learners to classify animals they know and share examples from local environments.
- Organize a drawing activity: learners illustrate “Animals in their habitats”, labeling each animal and its home (land, water, air).
Learners’ Activities (Expanded):
