3. Review
Last week, we read the story about Mariana and her ohelo plant that was not producing berries.
Turn and Talk. Define these words:

4. Today
Today we’ll read and perform a play about Integrated Pest Management.

5. Objectives
The learner will read or follow along with a play about Integrated Pest Management. The learner will identify problems and solutions within this play. The learner will write answers to higher order thinking questions using socrative.
I will read a part or just listen to a play about pests at an apple orchard. I will work alone or with a partner to remember the problems and solutions for each season. I will use socrative to answer reflection questions.

6. Preview
We learned about Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the story Mariana Becomes a Butterfly.
When Mariana saw that the mealybugs had eaten the papayas, she brainstormed some ideas.
Pesticides might also harm other insects that land on the papayas.
So, wasps were introduced to the habitat to kill the mealybugs.
Have you been to an apple orchard? Do you think insects would want to eat apples too? Could IPM be used at an apple orchard?

8. Read the Text The play is on my website.
Download both the PDF and the SMART Notebook file.
As we are reading the text, think about what is the problem and solution in each season.

9. Reflect on the Text
Work alone or with a neighbor to move the pieces in the SMART Notebook file into the correct location.
Questions – on socrative.
Do you think insects can be both problems and solutions? Give examples.
Do you think IPM is technology? Why?
How do agricultural engineers use Integrated Pest Management to help farmers?
