Frederick’s Group Plan: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 9–12. 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 developed over time.
describe: Explain what something is like or what matters about it.
adjust: Make a small change to improve how something works.
section: One part of a larger thing.
satisfied: Feeling that something meets an important need or aim.

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

Plan a small shared task by naming what matters to each person. Test ideas, divide roles by agreement and make space for disagreement without requiring one child to give up every preference.
