Overview:

Students will watch a video that shows kids camouflaging themselves in order to blend into nature so they can watch wildlife. The kids follow a sequence of steps in order to camouflage themselves. The students will take notes on this process and write a paragraph that conveys the steps in proper order.

 

Overview
Students watch a video segment, take notes and using a time-order organizational structure, write a paragraph about how to camouflage themselves.

Why is this an important concept?
When learners can take ideas and sort them by order according to time, they can better comprehend the complexity, sequence, and relationships among the ideas. Noting the relationships among ideas leads to the ability to generalize, categorize, sort, evaluate, and understand new information.
