//<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Focus Attention/Motivation //<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">: When students come in, they will be given a puzzle piece. On the puzzle piece, students will write two things they use water for and two places we get water from. After all the students have completed the puzzle pieces, we will watch the Water Cycle video.

//Instructional Input & Modeling:// I will begin the lesson by talking about the continuous circulation of water. The cycle most of us are most familiar with is the cycle through rain or snow. I will then put the "Cycle organizer" transparency on the overhead. I will show the students how to fill in the chart with the water cycle stages. I will demonstrate the water cycle from rain or snow. We will talk about where it starts, how it forms, and where it ends.

//Student Engagement/Practice:// After going through a water cycle together, students will work with a partner to create their own water cycle organizer. I will pass out blank cycle organizers and the students will talk about where the water comes from. We will start by filling in the first stage together. After the first stage, students will work with their partner to fill in the rest of the chart. When students are finished, they may create a water cycle flip book. The flip book will include illustrations of each stage of the water cycle. Each student should make their OWN flipbook and may finish for homework.

//Closure:// We will close by talking about the puzzle pieces the students created in the beginning. We will talk about the different things we use water for and the different places we get it from.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">ESL students will be able to complete this flipbook with pictures and only one sentence to describe each page of their flipbook.

Students with special needs may put all the puzzle pieces together on the board at the end. This way they will be able to move around while still focusing on the lesson.

Gifted students will get to use any organizer they choose to show the water cycle. They will illustrate their cycle and write a sentence about each stage.
