Lesson idea implementation: In this lesson students will be discussing the different seasons and changes in
the environment throughout the year. I will begin by discussing the season that we are currently in. Then I will
shortly go over the different changes that the environment that we have already discussed prior. After we are
done with our review, I will introduce the short film we will watch in the class. This short movie will also be
accessible at home for all the student to see whenever they please. After watching the short movie the class
will be divided up into groups and I will allow them time to create their own topic, that has to deal with either
the seasons or the weather. Then the students will draft their own outlines. Finally, we will go to the
computer lab so that the students will have the change to create their own short movie like I did.
