Attention: How will I get the students’ attention?

Show students Searchasaurus. Ask kiddos to share something interesting they looked at last time or if they have any tips for kids using Searchasaurus.

Show students the subject headings on the cups. It would help if you had the subject headings page (ie the first page) up on the board. Then show students one slip of paper. Ask students which subject heading it would fall under.

For example if you had the slip of paper that said basketball then you would put it in the cup marked Sports.

Give each table a set of cups with each subject heading on it and then give them some slips of paper to sort (~12 slips). Allow them to use the computer to help them and check their answers.

Once kids get done they can play on Searchasaurus.
