How will you assist students in this process? The teacher will put students in groups of 5. Each group will be given a bag of leaves. Students will be assigned to go to (prearranged) stations and answer questions that will lead to students to the next station. Eventually the students will end up at the last station which will identify the tree from which the leaf came from. (The students will follow the guidelines from the worksheet on pg. 2) SEE http://dnr.wi.gov/org/caer/ce/eek/veg/treeke y/index.htm Focusing Student Attention Extension, Refinement, and Practice Activities: What opportunities will students have to use the new skills and concepts in a meaningful way? How will students expand and solidify their understanding of the concept and apply it to a real-world situation? How will students demonstrate their mastery of the essential learning outcomes? Guided Practice 4 DTA 5 All Models Evaluation CLOSING Time The students will review characteristics of a leaf. The students will be given a bag of leaves.
