PROCEDURE
Introduction (_10_min.):
Hook/Attention Grabber: We are going to continue with our picture of the seasons today. So hopefully we were able to
finish our outline we talked about last Friday. So today I want you to keep working on drawing each season, then
drawing an animal doing different things in spring, summer, and fall. Then after that, we are going to talk about the
winter one. So yesterday you guys looked up the tracks for your animal right? So you will use those tracks to show
your animal leaving to go find shelter. Of course the tracks will probably be pretty small, so I dont expect a huge
amount of detail, but enough that I know youre drawing the track for your animal. Once this is all done, you can start
to colour it, and then glue it onto your construction paper.
