All seven activities have a different theme, keeping students engaged throughout the unit. For this particular activity, it has a garden theme.

What will the students be doing?

The students will be creating a poster in Canva that follows the knowledge of the scheme being covered. Then, the students will answer a reflective question about that scheme. I have provided all of the questions, however you can change and edit anything you would like with these templates.

What will you receive?

You will receive a PDF that contains the link to my Canva template. This activity is used with free Canva elements only. This template includes a cover page, directions page, page reserved for student poster, and a reflection page.
