Loosely grouped plant classification cards: three-period lesson

How is a three-period lesson done using the loosely grouped plant classified cards?

This directress chooses three unlabelled loosely grouped plant classification cards, to teach the child the names of each one in a three-period lesson.

First period: the directress says the name of each plant, and asks the child to repeat the name after her, isolating each picture by placing it aside.

Second period: the directress places all three pictures on the mat in front of the child, asking him if he can show her different plants. She spends a lot of time in this period.

Third period: the directress asks the child if he can tell her the name of each plant when placing them in front of him, one at a time. She ensures to isolate each picture by placing it aside.

If the child has grasped the concept, then the directress consolidates the lesson by going over what was learnt
