Use this presentation as a teaching tool for other classes or when leading tours of your garden. Have students read about clouds. If possible, repeat in each season. Have the students select compound words from the illustrations that have built-in visual images. Try one or more of these activities to make visible the steps.
Students can draw the process, measure, and chronicle how long it takes.
After other plants are harvested, watch what happens to these plants as they go to seed. Ask students to work individually and not to share their work, yet. On panel one, have students draw a leaf. On panel two, have students draw a different shaped leaf. Discuss what is considered a standard or common leaf shape.
