Stage 3 – Learning Plan

Summary of Key Learning Events and Instruction

After the lecture section of the lesson is provided, students will participate in review. Using the Promethean board, students will get into groups
of two and take turns with other groups to come up and do a version of a word search, which replaces traditional paper and pencil. They will use
different color “markers” for different groups and find the verbs out of the word search. I will keep track of each groups’ scores on a sheet of
paper using tally marks. The group with the highest amout of verbs found wins a prize out of the treasure box.
