. Title: Fall Leaves Tags:Autumn, Cool, Changes


 * I am going to use this particular photograph to activate prior knowledge about what happens to the leaves on the tree in the autumn. I plan to introduce this lesson to first and second grade students at my school. I took a close-up shot of a tree in my yard that is changing colors. You will notice that some of the leaves are beginning to turn red in color. **

** I like to do extension activities for the books that I read to students in the media center. After discussing the elements of this picture with my students, I will read the story Fall Is Not Easy by Marty Kelley. After reading the story, the students and I will talk about the plot of the book. As a follow-up activity, the class will complete a diagram that shows what happens to the leaves on a tree in the fall, winter, spring and summer. **
