Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as a 20-30 minute small-group or one-on-one activity after introducing the word bank with the picture chart, so students hear and see each word before filling in blanks.
- Discussion question: "Look at the picture for gorge. What do you think happens if a hiker walks too close to a gorge?" Encourage students to point and use simple sentences.
- Scaffold for beginning ELL students: provide the word bank with pictures, read each sentence aloud, and let students point to or act out the meaning before writing or saying the answer.
- Extension for advanced students: have them write one new sentence about the hiker using two of the words, or identify which word from the list best describes the evidence they would look for on a trail.
- Estimated time: about 20-30 minutes, including reading the word bank, completing the blanks, and a quick oral review.
