Start-Up Activity
If possible, arrange to start this chapter right after a show-and-tell session. (If that is not possible, start by asking students to think about their favorite things that they have brought to show and tell.) Lead a discussion:
- Why is it fun to bring something to show and tell? (You get to share something really cool. You help other people learn about something. You get to be the teacher.)
- Why is it fun to find out about someone else's show and tell? (You get to learn something really cool.)
Point out to students that another way to show and tell about something cool is to write a report about it. Students can pick topics they really care about and write reports that are just as interesting and exciting as their show-and-tell sessions. This chapter will help them teach others what they know.
Think About It
“A joy that's shared is a joy made double.”
—American Proverb
