Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This activity teaches Grade 1 students to recognize the subject (who or what) and the predicate (what is said about the subject) in short sentences. Use the two-column recap to model aloud. Read each example aloud and ask students to point to the subject and predicate. For guided practice, have students whisper the subject, then the predicate, and finally say the whole sentence. Minimal prep: printed sentence strips or index cards with short sentences for partner work. For the matching page, students can work independently or in pairs. For the Drag-and-Drop page, review how to tap and drag on your device before starting. High-quality responses for the open-ended multimedia prompt show: a clear drawing or short recording that matches a sentence the student writes or says; labeling of the subject and predicate (words or arrows); or a spoken explanation that names the subject and predicate correctly. Accept responses that use drawings and a few words (e.g., picture of cat + caption “Cat / runs fast”) as correct when the student clearly separates who/what and what is happening.
