lesson. After the natural resources are up, one student at a time will come to the chart to describe what a picture of the use of natural resource is then tape it up. Students will draw one of the natural resources listed and will write two sentences: what is that resource used for, and why it is important to conserve it. To wrap up the lesson, we will go through the list of natural resources and their uses again. I will individually check the students notebook where the assignment is completed and discuss their work with them.

Some students have difficulty writing, therefore, they will be able to speak the sentences to the teacher. Some students may learn and retain information better through different learning styles, therefore, they will be able to choose how to display the information learned, whether it be a song, an action, or verbal.
