In this lesson, Have You Seen Trees?, a book written by Joanne Oppenheim, and The Seasons of Arnold's Apple Tree, a book written by Gail Gibbons, are used as mentor texts. As a post-reading activity, students will record facts about the seasons through the aid of a graphic organizer. Later students will visually display a poem about the cycle of the four seasons. Students will use a circle with quadrants, nature, painting techniques, and poetry in this lesson. [Requires Adobe Reader.]
