Introduction
(10 minutes)- Write the following sentence on the board: Mr. Herbert dropped the eggs when they slipped on the ice.
- Ask students to draw a picture that would go with the sentence. Give them five minutes to complete this drawing.
- Warn students that you won’t be answering any questions, and that they must complete this task on their own.
- Students will be confused, because the pronoun and noun don’t agree. It’s okay; let them struggle and discuss amongst themselves.
- Listen in on student conversations to assess whether students have figured out why the sentence is confusing.
