This activity could be adapted for ELLs and special needs students by showing them on the board or overhead what the completed project should look like. If they have difficulty reading, it could be hard to know where to put the different labels, but this would be much easier for them if they had an example to look at. K.3.1 Observe and draw physical features of common plants and animals. K.NS.6 Make and use simple equipment and tools to gather data and extend the senses.

This is a really cute activity for young students learning about the parts of plants. It could even be adapted for older students who are learning about the more detailed parts of plant biology (stamen, pistol, etc.) with a little creativity. I like this activity because it uses tactical elements to create a 3D craft. It is not simply drawing or coloring a picture. This is especially good for children who need a more sensory approach to learning, especially those children with autism or asbergers.
