Guidance - Making Connections

Overview

The teacher has her students work together to create a whole group chart, consolidating their information about puppets. Through discussion, she guides the students to make connections about the puppet types they are studying and what they may have seen at home or elsewhere.

Classroom Activity: Observations

Notice that the teacher refers to words that students mention for vocabulary development. Students are actively engaged in sharing their knowledge about the words the teacher highlights. Students are also used as resources to help students unfamiliar with certain words.
