Summary
Teacher indicates the story book which is prepared by using easel.ly on the screen. (If she
needs a hard copy because of electricity problem, she can print out the story book from the
site.) Teacher reads the story to children. This story is about a life of Bunny whose name is
Nicholas. He lives in a hollow tree. In the spring, Nicholas likes to sniff the flowers and in the
summer, watch the frogs in the pond. In the fall, he watches the animals getting ready for
winter, and in winter, watches the snow falling from the sky. After reading the book,
teacher asks a question to the children ''Did you realize those squirrels are getting ready for
the winter? What might they make to get ready for the winter? After taking the ideas of
children, teacher asks another question which is ''well, what do you do while getting ready
for the winter or summer?'' They make discussion about the differences of clothes
according to different seasons. Teacher says that '' now, let's look at our clothes, what you
think about these clothes, for which season they are appropriate'' In this way, children can
make a brainstorm about their clothes changes. At the end of the discussion, they decide in
which season they are. After that, teacher says that you remember yesterday I wanted you
to bring your seasonal clothes and now you can bring into the center of the class and I have
also some clothes for you. Teacher asks '' do you have an idea about what we can make
with these clothes?'' By doing this, teacher makes a transition to the drama activity in a
proper way. In the drama activity, children are expected to make four small groups. Each
group represents a single season. Children are supposed to choose appropriate clothes
according to their seasons. Teacher gives a time to discuss and prepare their improvisation.
After getting ready for drama, they exhibits their improvisations in an order way. At the end
of the activity, teacher and children make discussion about the clothes that they used and
mention the differences between the qualities of the clothes based on different seasons.
When the activity is over, the evaluation part can be started by teacher.
