The students use prior knowledge and first-hand observations of the natural world around them to create their own Haiku poems. The final draft is put on handmade leaves (from construction paper) to create an autumn-theme classroom display. Students will create a leaf scene using a variety of leaf patterns. In Autumn most people enjoy colorful leaves, brought about by external stimuli. In this lesson students explore leaf pigmentation through chromatography. Gild torn-paper edges and make golden leaf imprints on this decorative frame. Display original poetry, photos, or other reminders of nature’s beauty. Students will: discuss paintings by Vincent van Gogh, independently develop a classification method for trees, create leaf rubbings, and learn about the ways to calculate the age of a tree. |
