For the Teacher

Overview of Grade K , Life Science, Engagement 4

In this teacher-facilitated, whole-class engagement, students take turns answering questions to earn tokens to outfit an farmer to work on the farm.

What You Need

• The means to project this interactive for whole-class viewing
• Grade K Core Knowledge Science Student Readers, Needs of Plants and Animals (Students should be allowed to use the book to seek answers. Looking up information on demand is a valuable skill to practice!)

Advance Preparation

• Plan a way to keep track of which students have answered questions and which students are still in line for a turn. There are enough questions so each student 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 the rules with students before beginning. Emphasize the importance of not shouting out answers.
• Use the Next button to advance through the screens, having students take turns each supplying one answer.
• After each set of questions is answered, students can select one element to outfit the farmer. Take a class vote to determine the selection.
• When the avatar is fully outfitted, the mission is complete.
