III. Detailed Lesson Outline: Closure
We have spent the last several days investigating the stages of the water cycle. In small groups, design your own project in which you will depict what you have learned. Examples: chart, song, simulated journal entry, skit, rap, poem, dance, story, mural, sculpture, etc. Be sure your depiction clearly shows the three stages of the cycle and gives credit to the Designer and Sustainer of the water cycle (God!). Submit idea to teacher before beginning work on project. As you work on your project, complete your KWL chart by filling in some important things you have learned about the water cycle.
When projects are complete, students present projects to the class. As students present, they share one important thing they learned about the water cycle in this unit that they did not know before. Turn in KWL charts to teacher (for a check, not a grade!).
