B. Development-

1. Show students what page they will need to turn to in their books
2. For writing activity: Put some examples on the board
3. For drawing activity: Show students where they need to write the sound they are drawing and that we need to fill the space
 

C. Practice-

1. Using popsicle sticks, choose 4 readers. Students can choose to pass if they are uncomfortable reading in front of the class, but must follow along in their books. Assist readers if they are struggling with a word.
2. Assist students who are struggling during the writing activity. Stress proper sentences and neat printing
3. Encourage color and detail in student art work
 

D. Independent Practice-

1. Students will write 2 sentences about ways they have traveled and 2 sentences about ways they have not traveled Ex: "I have flown in a plane. I have not been on a boat."
2. Students will work independently on their art works
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. Assist students who struggle
2. Encourage students who find the work easy to think of other ways that people travel and help those who are struggling
