Activity 1: Creating your folder. You will be using this folder throughout Thing 4 to keep yourself organized and share your work with your teacher.

Activity 2: View & Think individually about the image below and then turn to a partner to discuss your thoughts.

  • Discussion Question: Which room do you think it would be easier to find a missing item? Why?

Left side, the room is very organized with bed made, floor picked up, and everything in its place. Right side room is very messy with bed not made, a lot of things on the floor, and nothing put away.
