Materials & preparation
- One printed learner copy; keep the answer view separate when provided
- Pencil and eraser
- Model and teach
- Think aloud through one example, including how you notice and correct a mistake. Then use this learner direction: Solve each clue, then read the first letters from top to bottom. Choose two space terms and model how their meanings or roles are connected.
- Support
- Make the success criteria visible, allow an independent attempt, and give one targeted cue instead of the answer.
- Stretch
- Ask the learner to justify a method and consider an alternative. Require a claim to be supported by a word, detail, example, or result from the page.
- Check for understanding
- Ask for two answers without the word bank or answer view, then correct misconceptions briefly.
