Welcome, Year 3 students! Today, we are going to dive into the amazing world of information texts. But before we start learning about them, let’s kick off our lesson with a fun and interactive warm-up activity called "Mystery Item Reveal!"
To introduce the concept of information texts in an engaging and hands-on manner.
Prepare the Mystery Box: Place the five items inside a box or a bag without letting the students see what’s inside.
Group Discussion: Gather your students in a circle and show them the mystery box. Ask them if they can guess what is inside. Allow a few minutes for them to share their guesses based on the shape and sounds they hear when items are moved around.
Item by Item Reveal:
Connecting to Information Texts: After revealing all the items, explain that each of them could be featured in an information text. Say something like, "Just like how we shared our thoughts about these items, information texts help us learn more about a topic by providing facts and details."
Transition to Learning: Conclude the activity by telling students that today, they will become information detectives! They will explore how to gather and present information about interesting topics through words.
This activity encourages curiosity, fosters discussion, and opens up the topic of information texts in an engaging way. By involving sensory experiences and group interaction, students will be more interested in understanding how information texts work and how they can use them to learn about the world around them.
Get ready to become experts in discovering facts! Let’s jump into our learning adventure about information texts—there’s so much to explore!
Ready, set, go! 📚✨
