LSK3701 Life Skills: Science And Technology In Foundation Phase Assignment 02 2022. Chosen book: A Seed is Sleepy by Dianna Aston, Illustrated by: Sylvia Long 1. This is a children’s book that can be taught to Grade R learners. It is an illustrated text that teaches children about seeds. The book teaches children about the origin of seeds and what flowers can form from those seeds and it ignites the love for seeds. The author/illustrator team make us realize that seeds are beautiful, fascinating and utterly worthy of our attention and appreciation. In the beginning, a seed is sleepy (and secretive), lying untouched and still, but soon it is fruitful and adventurous - spreading out and growing. The front inside cover pages show many, many seeds ranging from the very small to the big--then the back inside cover pages show the plants that sprout from the seeds. Between those pages is a glorious exploration of many different types of seeds that float on air or water, seeds that are tiny as a freckle, seeds that can need the sun and those that do not , seeds that take but days to begin to grow, seeds that will grow after thousands of years. Science themes are discussed thoroughly in this This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :20:46 GMT -05:00 book and children in Grade R will get to learn about the life of plants and how they come to be. 2. The CAPS Social Science big idea that can be incorporated into my theme plan is conservation. I chose this idea because plants are living organisms that need to be protected and conserved so that they may survive for years to come. This book works best for this theme as it teaches children about seeds and how they grow into different plants. If the children know about the seeds then they can understand how taking care of seeds and plants are important for conservation. 3. Lesson Plan: A Seed is sleepy Topic How plants come to be Grade R Term 1 Date(s) 25 June 2021 Curriculum page(s) Pg 28-29, Pg 58-59, Life Skills Big idea Conservation Phase 1: Introduction Teacher outcome: The teacher will The teacher will read the book “A Seed is Sleepy” and introduce the topic of plants and seeds. Learner Objective: The learner will Learners will listen to the story and ask questions where they don’t understand. Resource The Book “A Seed is Sleepy” by Dianna Aston Integration Language: Listening and comprehension Teacher activity Learner activity Possible questions based on the domain and the big idea The teacher reads the book to the learners about how seeds grow and turn into plants. The learners listen to the story about the seeds and occasionally ask the teacher questions based on the book. - How can plants survive for a long time? - How many seeds can grow into plants? - When do plants become trees? This study source was downloaded by from CourseH on :20:46 GMT -05:00 Phase 2: Exploration Teacher outcomes: The teacher will - The teacher will show the learners pictures of some of the different seeds that were discussed in the book. - The teacher will facilitate a discussion with the learners about what she has just read to them. The teacher will then follow up with questions to the learners to stimulate a conversation. Learner objectives: The learner will - The learners will engage with the pictures and ask the teachers questions about conservation. - The learners will participate in the discussion and ask the learners questions to help them participate more. Resources Seed and plant poster pictures Integration Language and vocabulary Teacher activity Learner activity Possible questions based on the domain and the big idea The teacher will put up posters of different seeds and plants with their names on the board. The teacher will then facilitate a discussion with the learners about how seeds turn into plants and trees. The teachers will occasionally ask the learners some questions to encourage maximum participation. The learners will view the pictures and repeat the names of the plants and seeds after the teacher. The learners will ask questions about the seeds and the plants which will lead to a discussion based on the posters and the questions from the learners. - How are the names of the seeds made? - Does the size of the seed determine the size of the plant or tree? - What living conditions are applied to make sure the seeds survive long enough to grow? - How many plants can grow from one seed?
