Apple Adjectives.

To culminate the project, we incorporated the apple theme across the curriculum through one project. First we brainstormed a combination of apple color combinations and voted by ballot to identify the top three combinations. Students built a tally chart. We then reviewed reading a chart with a pop quiz. We created a bubble map using a thesaurus to describe apples. We used our second grade listening skills to construct an apple using iris folding technique. Finally, we wrote our adjectives around the apple in alphabetical order!
