The lesson plan focuses on having kindergarten students write a report about an apple using their five senses by allowing each student to choose an apple to observe, discussing the senses, and guiding them through measuring and describing their apple which will then be compiled into a class book. The lesson aims to teach students about living vs non-living things and measurement tools while applying their knowledge of the five senses and developing language and writing skills through creating an individual report on their apple.
