Activity preparation:
I already know the names and characteristics of each plant in Plants vs Zombies. Understand ultra-light clay.
A pot of plants, an ultra-light clay, a paper ball, a twist stick and a knife.
Activity flow:
First, show mysterious gifts to stimulate children's interest.
Teacher: Miss Li brought a mysterious gift today. What could it be? Let's take a look together.
Teenager: flowerpot
Teacher: What can be planted in it? Miss Li will show you a different one. Ah, what game is this? Looks like you've played! What's its name?
Young: flowers, grass, aloe. Plants vs. Zombies, Corn Pitcher.
Teacher: So this is a small potted corn pitcher. Can you guess what it is made of? Teacher Li introduces a new material to you. Its name is ultra-light clay. It is similar to plasticine but lighter than plasticine. Do you want to do it?
Yang: Yes.
Second, observe the potted plants of Nepenthes maydis to understand the production steps.
Teacher: Then let's take a closer look at how it is done!
Yang: Watch the video.
Teacher: How is this done? Who wants to talk about it? In the process of speaking, other children should be small teachers. Listen to whether he has missed anything and tell the teacher later, ok? (Children describe the teacher's completion and show photos)
Yang: The first step is to put a paper ball in an empty potted plant and cover it with ultra-light clay. The second step is to take out the yellow ultra-light clay, knead it into the adopted son of the egg, and carve vertical and horizontal stripes with a knife. Remember to finish the vertical carving on the horizontal plane first to make it look like corn. The corn thus cut is neat and beautiful.
Teacher: Now put your eyes and eyebrows on the corn face. You can make different looks, which will look better. (Step 3) What is the next step?
Yang: Step four, put the twist stick on the corn head, take out the brown ultra-light clay and knead it into the shape of a small bowl, and press the marks on the edge with a knife. Take a small piece of yellow ultra-light clay as corn kernels. Put it in the middle of the tray.
Teacher: The last step is to flatten the green ultra-light clay and carve the lines with a knife. Glue the leaves to the bottom of the corn. Then fix the corn pitcher in the middle of the jar. Such a beautiful corn pot potted plant is finished.
Third, children's operation, teachers' tour guidance
Teacher: There are many lovely little plants in the battle between plants and zombies. What's there?
Young: pea shooter, sunflower, cactus (the teacher pulls out small plants while the child is talking)
Teacher: Today, please ask the children to choose a favorite plant to make it, but before making it, can you discuss with my friends what I want to do? How? Then do it. Now, please lift your little chair and sit in an empty place to make it!
Children's hands-on operation
Teacher: You can ask children to pay attention to making flowerpots first when visiting the guide. And those that can't stand up, such as sunflowers, can stand up with a layer of ultra-light clay on the back. When the children are finished, they can say it loudly. The children who have done it will put their own works on the bookshelf first, and then they can help other children do it themselves, or tell other children the names of their works.
Fourth, the exhibition of works.
Teacher: Please introduce the name of the plant you made. What is it like? Can you learn its movements? Do you have any problems in the production process? If not, you can say that you are very capable. We can try other plants next time. )
Teacher: Now please take your potted plants back to the classroom and play this game together!
