Objective this week: To be able to identify common plants in Kansas.
This week we will be identifying plants in the classroom and outside, through the use of field guides, plant specimen books, & Internet resources. I don't have a "daily" lesson plan for this class this week, because much of it is driven with the weather and student comprehension; by the end of the week students must be able to identify Big & Little Bluestem, Switch Grass, Sideoats Grama, and Ragweed for a quiz on Friday.
One of the major assignments this week will be to create a multimedia study guide for the plant & grass species listed above.
