Conferring and Small Group Work

Share Out

1.  Have volunteers share their small moments.

2.  In particular, have students share how they refined their small
moment from watermelon, to slice, to seed.

3. If any particular student is still having a problem narrowing their

seed idea, help them, by modeling--taking their watermelon level
idea down to seed.
