Description

Introduce a lesson on using a computer mouse or trackpad with this eBook that goes over both because most students are exposed to both. Students learn the basic gestures for each. Great for a warm up activity in the computer lab or classroom. Share the PDF with students for a paperless experience or print the nonfiction text out as a booklet.

In the file you’ll find:

1. Instructions for printing – if you want physical copies of the eBook

2. Comprehension questions (2 to a page and full-page options)

3. Vocabulary for this eBook

4. Higher order thinking questions to ask after reading

5. 3 graphic organizers that can be used with the text (provided in PDF for printing and as PNG files that can be loaded into Seesaw or Google Slides for students to type their answers)

The PDF is designed to be used like an eBook, so you can project it onto your whiteboard and/or share it as a PDF in your learning management system for students to read through independently.

WAYS TO USE THIS BOOKLET

• Whole-group introduction to this topic or a related lesson.

• Wrap-up activity when you have a few extra minutes.

• Full lesson with the book, vocabulary cards, graphic organizers, and questions.

• Back up plan for days that the internet doesn’t cooperate.

• Sub plans.

 

PLEASE NOTE that if you subscribe to my k5tech.net curriculum, the eBook is included already as an embedded Flipbook in the lesson page. The graphic organizers, vocab, and comprehension questions are not included, so if you want them and the booklet in PDF format then this is how to get them.
