Learning objective
Classify examples under headings. Describe weather and water changes in a clear sequence and notice simple patterns.
Materials & preparation
- One printed learner copy; keep the answer view separate when provided
- Pre-cut pieces, or child-safe scissors with adult supervision
- A clear surface for arranging the pieces
- Model and teach
- Place two examples side by side and model the feature that makes them match or differ. Then use this learner direction: Cut out the cards and sort each item under the correct heading. Ask what changes and what stays the same across the sequence shown on the page.
- Support
- Complete the first item together, highlight the key word or visual clue, then fade the prompt.
- Stretch
- Ask for an explanation using the topic words, then add one new example. Predict what would change in a new case and explain the reason.
- Check for understanding
- Give one new item and ask the learner to place it and state the sorting rule.
