Development: | 1.Distribute FILL IN THE BLANK worksheets. 2. As I teach, I will flip through original power point with pictures that I created to go along with my very brief lecture. 3. The worksheet will not have any answers. 4. Use inquiry to check students are successfully writing the answers in the BLANKS. 5. Repeat statements that contain the answers to their FILL IN THE BLANK. 6. Walk about the room to ensure each child has finished. |
Practice: | 1. Distribute wordfind and crossword. 2. Instruct students to complete them within their already organized groups. 3. Remind them that FILL IN THE BLANK will be helpful to them in learning things better. |

Accelerated: Students can label countries, seas, and rivers that they are able to identify. |
Checking For Understanding: | 1. I will make sure that students understand and are completing their FILL IN THE BLANK throughout the lesson. 2. Go over areas so that students can have another opportunity to hear the answers. |
