Teacher Instructions

• Copy picture from slide 3 onto an overhead to use as an example or show slide 3 as an example on power point.

• Copy pictures from slides 4 to 14 to cardstock and laminate.

• Place each picture inside a folder.• Number the folders 1 to 10 • Give each group one folder and a set of activity cards.

Have the group use the cards to label the picture. • Walk around checking answers. • Have the students pass their folder to the next group as

they finish. • The first one is slow and the pace picks up as the

students get practice.
