Plant Parts Review with Deciduous and Evergreen Trees<br />

Materials: Various plants; drawing paper, drawing tools<br />

Show students images of deciduous and evergreen trees and<br />

ask students to identify the parts. After talking about plants, have<br />

students design and illustrate a deciduous tree and an evergreen<br />

tree on a piece of paper, instructing them to include all parts of a<br />

plant (root, stem, branch, and leaf). Instruct students to share their<br />

drawings and identify the parts of their trees while sharing. Their<br />

classmates may also want to guess where the parts are located<br />

on the drawing.<br />

Deciduous vs. Evergreen<br />

Materials: Chart paper, chalkboard, or whiteboard<br />

Compare and contrast deciduous trees and evergreen trees. What<br />

do these plants have in common? How are they different? Record<br />

student answers on a Venn diagram.<br />

Teacher Choice<br />

Reread a particular read-aloud to students in order to review<br />

important domain concepts.<br />

On Stage: Johnny Appleseed<br />

Materials: Drawing paper, drawing tools<br />

Have students draw a picture of what they think is the most<br />

important or most interesting thing that they learned about Johnny<br />

Appleseed. Divide the class into groups and have students take<br />

turns acting out their drawings. Make sure that students talk about<br />

what they are doing and encourage them to use key vocabulary<br />

words like seed or fruit.<br />
