Plant POV & HMW Poster
Core Content
Essential Question
Critique and Revision
In small groups, students brainstorm what a plant needs to survive and imagine life from the plant’s point of view. They then create a kid-friendly poster that includes a simple POV statement, several How Might We questions, two simple persona drawings, and a basic systems map showing how plant parts help the plant stay alive. The group shares their poster with a partner or guest reviewer to gather brief feedback and consider improvements.
