2. Zoom-In
This Zoom-In is designed as a supplement to Domain 5 Farms (Core Knowledge) for first grade.
The purpose is to get students to think more critically about what they observe and have rich conversation based on those observations.
The expectation is that students will use evidence from each piece of the image to support their thinking, students should have some different perspectives and this will foster those rich conversations.
This is a hook to the unit, students should not have seen this picture before.
