Lesson
reflect on how steps are written. Write the following on the board: Put seeds in paper towel. Seeds are put in paper towel . Ask students in which sentence does the sentence start with the thing receiving the action. Ask them if they know which one is active and which one is passive. Allow students to consult the Learning to Know in the Appendix. Then ask students to decide if each instruction is active or passive. Once again, let students compare their answers in pairs before asking the whole class to give you a sign for active or passive. 3. Read the instructions and number the pictures. First ask students to read the instructions one by one and write the number of the picture next to each instruction. Tell them to first match the ones they are sure about and leave the ones they are unsure about for last. Then ask them to compare their answers in pairs, before you ask the class for their answers. Differentiated Instruction For this activity you can use the Individual Feedback strategy. Monitor closely. Support students by offering key words they can use to match pictures and instructions. This can be done by eliciting or providing the key words, like: sun, sprout, paper towel, water, bag, plant. Learning to Do 113 Ask the question from the box and elicit students’ prior knowledge; encourage them to go to the Appendix if needed. 4. Close your books.
