View a tree from far away. Move close up. Encourage students to notice lines, colours, textures. Collect parts of trees. Set up displays, learning centres, etc.
Students can make a tree in the classroom with old branches, paper, cloth, etc.
Concluding Activities Display and discuss projects. Read stories, poems, etc. about trees. The idea is to look, study and learn about specific objects in the environment. In this way students will become aware of visual detail. People use visual images to communicate ideas and convey meaning.
