Essential Question
Submission Required
Grading Required
After presenting, students participate in a brief teacher-led accessibility review. Using a simple picture-based checklist (smiley faces and icons), the teacher observes whether labels are visible, sunlight symbols are clear, and arrows connect needs to the plant. Students answer 2–3 verbal questions comparing sunny and shaded placements and describing observed patterns from their journal wall drawings.
