Sequencing with a SmartBoard- In this lesson, students will be assembled into groups of three or four. Students will be responsible for reading a selected picture book, identifying six main ideas from the text, and mixing the main events into an unorganized list. Student groups will then record their unorganized lists into the SMARTBoard notebook software. Once all groups have entered their list, student groups will receive a different group’s book and their created list. Students will organize the new list of main events, and using the Smart Ideas Software or concept mapping software, create a concept map of the assigned story and events.
