Evaluation: 

Objectives stated earlier in plan:

• The students will be able to pinpoint what the four seasons are. 

• The students will be able to identify the order that the seasons occur in.

• Show that the seasons repeat each year.

• The students will also learn how there are more daylight hours in summer and fewer daylight hours during the winter and be able to state why. 

Through the handout given the students will be writing down answers that closely match the objectives stated. The teacher can then assess whether the students understand and have reached these objectives. Through the drawing the seasons activity that will be given to them they will also be able to demonstrate and speak about the four seasons. This will give the teacher a better understanding of what knowledge the students have gained through the activities previously given during the lesson.
