WELCOME & ACTIVATE BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE (4 minutes) Greet students. Follow opening procedures to prepare students for learning. Have the creator-media matching game set up. On a whiteboard or poster paper, display two columns of photos with space between to draw lines. One side should have a column of creators, the other side a column of media. Say: We are going to play a matching game. Your task is to match the creator with what they make. On this side of the board are pictures of creators (read job titles out loud), and on this side of the board are the types of media they make (read media labels out loud). I will call on students to come and draw a line between matching creators and media. I’m looking for students who are listening with their whole bodies and being respectful to the teacher and to their classmates. Allow students to attempt to make matches – it’s okay if they get some wrong. As students make their matches ask “What makes you think that?” so they will speak about their thought process. Ask the class to signal if they agree or disagree.
