Learning objective
Connect terms, meanings, or examples. Explain how light direction and objects affect where a shadow appears.
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. Use the page examples to identify the light source, object, and shadow without looking at a bright light.
- 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. Predict what would change in a new case and explain the reason.
- Check for understanding
- Ask the learner to make one choice and explain the clue or relationship used.
