For the Teacher

Overview of Grade 3, Earth Science, Engagement 1

A series of interactive screens provides students with opportunities to identify, order, and sort to classify. One at a time, students volunteer to guide the teacher by stating where to place text labels or small images on the screen.

What You Need

The means to project this interactive for whole-class viewing.

Advance Preparation

Plan a way to keep track of which students have already answered and which students are still eligible for a turn. Collectively, the screens include thirty words or images to drag and drop, so each student in the class should get at least one turn.

How to Facilitate

• Beginning with the screen following this one, project the engagement in the largest format possible for whole-class viewing.
• Go over expectations with students before beginning.
• Clicking on speaker buttons and larger blocks of text activates voice audio of the text. Or, you may choose to do the reading aloud for students.
• For tasks that involve placing text labels, identify a term. Point the word out to students, and pronounce it aloud for them.
• Select a volunteer to guide you as you drag and drop each term or image to the target on the screen that the student identifies.
• Check the answers, and choose Next to continue to the next screen.
