Learning objective

Connect terms, meanings, or examples. Use fossil evidence to distinguish what can be observed from what can only be inferred.

Materials & preparation

  • One printed learner copy; keep the answer view separate when provided
  • Pencil and eraser
Model and teach
Place two examples side by side and model the feature that makes them match or differ. Then use this learner direction: Draw a line from each number to its matching letter. Name one visible clue first, then model a cautious inference based on that clue.
Support
Work side by side, offer two choices at a time, and accept pointing or an oral answer before writing.
Stretch
If attention is steady, ask for one more example and a simple reason. Require a claim to be supported by a word, detail, example, or result from the page.
Check for understanding
Ask the learner to make one choice and explain the clue or relationship used.
