Learning Objectives
Students will "read" sequential directions to draw a shape-based turkey.
Introduction
(5 minutes)- Tell students that today they are going to draw a turkey during work time.
- Let students know that they need to read the directions to draw their own turkey.
- Explain to students that grown-ups need to read directions step-by-step all the time to do many things, like when they cook and read recipes, or when they put toys together and they read directions.
- Tell students it is very important to follow the directions in order. That means that they have to start with the number 1, then go to 2, then 3, then 4. Let them know that they can not start with number 1, then go to 4 or 6. When directions aren't followed in order, the finished product may not look like it's supposed to or something may be forgotten.
