🧠 ACTIVACIÓN DE CONOCIMIENTOS PREVIOS 💬

The teacher shows pictures of familiar plants (rose, sunflower, tree, flower) and asks simple questions in English and Spanish, such as:
-
Do you know this plant?
-
Have you heard a story about a plant?
Students share short answers freely. This helps them connect what they already know with the new topic.

Plants are living things. They grow, need water, sunlight, and care.
Some plants have legends. A legend is a short story from the past that teaches something important.
People tell legends about plants to explain their beauty, their origin, or to teach values like love, respect, and care for nature.
Simple vocabulary:
-
Plant 🌱

Tree 🌳

Legend 📖

Nature 🌍

Care 💧

🎨 ACTIVITIES ✂️🖍️

🔹 ACTIVITY 1: DRAW AND TELL
Students draw a plant they like. Then, they say one simple sentence in English, for example:
👉 “This is a flower.”
👉 “I like this plant.”
🔹 ACTIVITY 2: LEGEND CIRCLE
Students sit in a circle. The teacher starts a very short legend about a plant. Each child adds one word or gesture. This encourages creativity and teamwork.
🔹 ACTIVITY 3: PLANT MATCHING GAME
With printed images or drawings, students match plants with simple words (flower, tree, plant). They work in small groups.

🔁✨ CLOSURE ✨🔁

What is a legend?
Students repeat key words together and remember that plants are important and deserve care.
