1st Grade Drama Interactive Whiteboard

Use these interactive google slides to engage your students as they learn about insects. Students read one of 5 multiple choice question slides about insects, click on the response they believe to be correct, and receive feedback immediately. When correct, you and your class can read an original, easy to understand text to learn more about the insect. The final slide in each text includes a quick drama prompt for students to demonstrate their learning. These science slides make learning about living things fun!

Pace out these slides by using one insect a day as a minds on to capture your students attention and get them ready to learn!
