Objective

By the end of this lesson, the student will learn about different types of vehicles showcased at a car show, understand their features, and create a mini car show presentation. This will enhance their knowledge of automobiles and improve their presentation skills.

Materials and Prep

Activities

• Vehicle Research: The student will choose three different types of vehicles (e.g., sports cars, classic cars, electric cars) and research their features, history, and fun facts. This can be done through online resources or books if available.
• Design Your Own Car: Using paper and colored pencils or markers, the student will design their own unique vehicle. They can think about its color, shape, and special features that make it stand out.
