Essential Question
Submission Required
Students create an individual picture-based user experience map showing their planted seed over time. The map includes: seed → sprout → taller plant, with arrows to sunlight and water, and one drawing of how a person helped (watering or planting). Students share with a partner, give feedback to two peers using picture prompts (clear arrows? correct needs?), and revise their maps.

- Set up space for sharing and feedback with enough room for partners to sit together.
Student-facing instructions
You will create a picture map showing how your planted seed grows from a seed to a taller plant. Draw arrows to show sunlight and water. Share your map with a partner and make sure your arrows are clear and your plant's needs are correct. After feedback, make changes and add a picture of how someone helped the plant, like watering.
