Procedural steps:
The teacher will give the students each a piece of paper as
well as crayons and markers. The teacher will ask the
students to draw a picture of the plant including all the parts
such as roots, leaves, stem, and flower. There will be a
picture of a plant for students to reference if they need a
visual.
After the students complete their pictures, the teacher will ask
them individually to label the parts of the plant either on their
own picture or on a picture given to them. If students cannot
write, they will be able to use cards will the names of each
part on them, which the teacher will read to the students.
The teacher will have a checklist which she will mark off when
students label each part of the plant.
