Step7. Come to “PROJECT”.
Work in three or four students in a group. Each group should finish the task. They need to plant a seed in a pot. They can plant any seed that he likes. After planting it, put it in sun. now we can observe it every day.
When they are planting, the teacher walks around the class. Make sure all the students are speaking English. If they are in trouble, help them. The teacher can ask the questions like this:
What are you doing now?
Have you watered your seeds?
What do you cover with it?
When will they sprout?
Make sure that every group labels their pots with their names or group number (Example: Group 1). You may wish t have students also write the type of seed and the date on the label.
Every group makes a poster with pictures and words. Describe what their plants will be like. What do they do? Instruct the students to label each part of the plant in English. Have them label which parts of the plant are above ground and which parts are below.
Step8. Blackboard Design.
Summary:
Bring a real plant to the class. Point to the parts of the plant and ask some questions. Because this unit is about the plant, we must finish the project. Of course we can’t finish it in a class. We can do it after class and check the homework in the next class.
