Materials & preparation
- One printed learner copy; keep the answer view separate when provided
- Pencil and eraser
- Model and teach
- Look closely together and name one useful detail without completing the learner's work. Then use this learner direction: Use the word mat when speaking, reading, or writing. Choose one food shown and identify its source and one step on its journey.
- 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. Compare two valid examples and explain one meaningful similarity or difference.
- Check for understanding
- Give one fresh item and ask the learner to complete it without copying the model.
