This activity is appropriate for this time in the school year because the students are learning
about fall themes, like pumpkins and apples, and have discussed leaves changing colors and falling
down. The students will be adequately prepared for this activity because they created a shapey earlier
in the year which was a person made from shapes. In this activity they will do the same thing with
leaves, sticks, and other items found in nature. The students have also been working on numbers and
counting and will have the opportunity to write numbers in this lesson.
OBJECTIVES AND ASSESSMENT
Developmental Objectives
1. The students will be able to describe the
resemblances of their leafy to humans.
2. The students will be able to count the
number of each type of material used and
write that number correctly.
3. The students will be able to follow the
cue cards for guidance throughout the
activity in gluing their projects effectively.

CLEAN-UP
The students will place their leafy by the sink so that the glue can dry, then will put them into their
mailboxes to go home. I will collect the glue and cue cards and the students will put their number
worksheet into their mailbox to take home.
DIFFERENTIATION
The cue cards will give opportunities for all students to understand instruction because the pictures supply an
explanation for students who cannot read and the words challenge emerging readers. Some students will need
more individualized instruction so I will be walking around to make sure that I give that to them. If students have
difficulty conceptualizing what a person-like figure would look like I will draw a stick figure for them so they
know what body parts they need to make.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG WITH THIS LESSON AND WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT IT?
A big potential problem is that students will not understand the concept of the cue cards. This class has never
used them before for instruction so they may ask a lot of additional questions or ask me for instruction again
rather than checking back on the cards. To solve this issue I will remind them that they can find the answers on
the cards. Some students may have trouble with breaking the materials so I will need to explain that they need to
use gentle hands because the leaves might be dry and breakable. If students are playing with the materials in an
unsafe way (sticks for example) those students will not be allowed to use the sticks in their creation.
