The Class Vote: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 1. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

project: A piece of work planned and done over time.

plan: An idea about what to do and how to do it.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Use the pictures to retell the story from first to last. Explain what Charlotte found out. Children can talk, point, sign, draw or use a communication device. Invite a connection with a familiar experience without requiring private information.
