○ Allow students handwriting
a couple of minutes to think.
○ If the students don’t answer then tell them.
○ If they answer along the lines of dealing with the parts and survival say close
and say this, “I asked you to think about possible parts of the plant and how
each part helps them survive.”
● We are now going to watch a quick video on parts of a plant
○ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TD60-3rqPXg
● While watching the video the student will be filling out a Guided Notes sheet that goes
along with the video
○ Guided Notes and answer key can be found at the bottom of the lesson plan
● This video is just a brief introduction to the plant lesson so children have an idea of
what will come
Accommodations/Differentiation:
Accommodations
● Our student that we are accommodating for is a female ESL student who is fluent in
Spanish.
○ For the YouTube video there is an option for Spanish subtitles which I would
pop up on the screen for our student.
○ For the rest of the activities with the worksheets that are given I would have
both the English and Spanish translations on the worksheets.
○ When the student is working in a group the other students can help guide the
Spanish speaking student.
Differentiation
○ For students who are struggling- The teacher could have a word bank for the
student on some of the worksheets. The teacher could also try to keep a close
eye on the student when walking around.
○ For students that are accelerated learners- The teacher could have the student
write a summary about how the plants and functions work to help a plant
survive.
