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 />
