                                            INTRODUCTION
 I greet students and introduce them to the topics of today’s lesson.
We will have a class discussion, in L1 if necessary, about the different colours in nature (e.g. plants, animals, etc).
Revise/Elicit the colours. I ask: What are some things that are yellow in nature? Elicit responses, e.g. lemons,
bananas, the sun, etc. I will do the same for the other colours, as well.
                                                        WARM- UP
Presentation
I ask the pupils, in L1 if necessary, why fruit and vegetables are important. We have a brief class discussion. I
explain to the pupils that fruit and vegetables have got many vitamins that help us grow strong and healthy. I draw a
simple sketch of a carrot on the board and ask: Is a carrot a fruit or a vegetable? Elicit: It's a vegetable. Next, I do the
same for tomato and ask the same question. Most likely, the pupils will say that it's a vegetable. I take this
opportunity to tell the pupils that fruit usually have seeds, whereas vegetables don't. Finally, I explain to the pupils
that we don't have to buy everything. We can grow our own fruit and vegetables in our gardens!
Practice
I refer the pupils to the picture. I ask the pupils to name the fruit and vegetables shown. I ask them where they
usually grow (in the ground, on trees, on plants). I tell the pupils to draw any fruit or vegetable they like in the
correct place in the picture. Then I ask individual pupils to point to their green garden and talk about it, by saying
what they grow and where. I check their answers.
I Tell the pupils they are going to work together and make a school garden. The pupils draw their own fruit or
vegetable. Then, as a class, they make a collage by sticking their pictures on a big piece of construction paper.
Production
I tell the children that they will be learning about Earth Day, which is celebrated on 22nd April. We have a class
discussion, in L1 if necessary, about why it's important to celebrate Earth Day. I explain to the pupils that since we
all share the Earth, it is everyone's responsibility to take care of it. I ask the pupils what we can do to take care of
Mother Earth (e.g. help animals, don't drop litter, etc). I refer the pupils to the picture and read the sentence out loud.
I tell the pupils to colour in the picture.
I tell the pupils they are going to draw a picture for Earth Day to show how they love Mother Earth. I ask them to
think of activities that show we care for the Earth. Brainstorm a few ideas and write them on the board (e.g. help
animals, plant trees and flowers, etc). I go around the classroom monitoring the activity, offering any necessary help.
Make sure you display the pupils' work somewhere in the classroom.
