Plants: Supplemental Guide 1B | Introduction to Plants 31 Show image 1A-3: Hardwood forest- In the read-aloud you heard, “This shady forest is home to plenty of
different types of plants.” - Say plenty with me three times.
- Plenty is used to show that there are many things. If there is plenty
of something, that means there is a lot of that thing. You can use
plenty to show that there is more than you need, like, “I have plenty
of cookies. I cannot eat them all, so I will share my cookies with
everybody.” - Let’s make a two-column chart for the word plenty.
[Show a picture depicting plenty.]
Does this picture show plenty or few?
[Invite a student to put the picture in the correct column.]
[Show students the different types of pictures you have prepared.
Ask them if it shows plenty or few. Invite different students to put the
pictures in the correct column.] - Talk with your partner, using the word plenty and what you have
learned about the word plenty from the chart. Try to use complete
sentences.
