Cognates: identify any cognates used. Examples vegetables (Spanish=vegetables) Collocations: difference between red pepper and green pepper Objectives After learning the needed the vocabulary, the student will be able to use vocabulary in correct context. After studying the life cycle of a plant, the student will be able to record the steps in his or her journal using accurate vocabulary.
