How to plant it.
Now that we know what kind of a plant to select, can you think of something else we must learn before we are ready to transplant our salvia plants?
(Statement of Pupils’ Aim.)
Can you think of some things which might help a very young plant to get a good start?
Has any child ever seen a farmer plant cabbage or tomato plants?
Tell us exactly how he did it and why.
Several children who can select a good plant may plant them in this box of earth. The class will decide whether they are good gardeners.
Each child will have an opportunity to plant a salvia plant in the garden. Can you tell which plants will be most liable to grow well?
A LESSON PLAN IN GEOGRAPHY WHICH IS PREDOMINANTLY DEDUCTIVE
The study of maps forms the basis for inferences which are later verified by referring to the text. This plan was written by Miss Mary F. Kirchwey of the Horace Mann School, Teachers College, Columbia University. This lesson was most successfully taught to sixth-grade pupils in the Horace Mann School.
Teacher’s aim: To teach the geography of India and to give practice in the application of principles of geography known by the pupils.
Children’s aim: Why do they have such terrible famines in India?
