Idea for Science lesson plans extension:
Students can plant their own seeds and watch them grow. Students then draw or paint a picture of their own plant. Using the vocabulary learned to describe paintings, students can write a description of their own paintings. Other students can write opinions about each other's paintings. These student-created paintings, descriptions, and opinions can be presented to the class in the target language.
