Teaching Activities
(Explore, Explain, Elaborate) 1. Have students gather together in their groups and give them the information that they will be putting into book
creator (each group will get their sticky notes from the chart to put into their iPads)

2. Students will have the remainder of the time to work on their group project (They must share the iPad and the
responsibilities of entering the information into book creator)

3. As the students are working I will be walking around to visually check off as each student has had their turn on the
iPad to enter the information. This will ensure that each student has a chance to participate and work together with
their group.

Closure Activities (Evaluate)

1. Pull the students back to the carpet and discuss what they learned and how it is relevant to our objective.
2. Discuss together as a class and let students talk about what they did today and how it was helpful to their knowledge.

Differentiated Instruction Low:
