Teacher Notes (not visible to students)
This activity uses a short informational passage to practice reading fluency and comprehension about materials and their properties. Use the ReadingFluencyQuestion recording to check students' pacing, accuracy, and expression. Then review the auto-graded questions for factual understanding before using the open-ended tasks for deeper thinking and expression. No special materials are needed; for the multimedia task students may use a camera or drawing tools if available. For the ParagraphQuestion: a high-quality answer explains why selecting the right material matters and gives at least one clear example from the passage (for example: 'Metal is strong so it is used for tools') and one original idea or example (like choosing material for a lunchbox). For the multimedia Frame task: look for a response that labels at least two materials, explains one reason each material was chosen, and uses the chosen media (photo, voice, drawing, or video) to show understanding. Teachers can mark these open responses as correct if students include accurate reasons and examples, and incorrect if the response shows misunderstandings about materials or gives no examples.
