Teacher shares personal family photos telling who each family member is.
Students identify the different family members (using the critical vocabulary) through teacher-guided brainstorming. Suggested technology resources for this activity would be to use “Thinking Maps,” “Inspiration,” “Kidspiration,” or any other software your school may have; otherwise, make or use the attached bubble map with “Family Members” as the center bubble. Add and label circles around the center bubble with one circle for each family member title. (Additions to bubble map could be made as lesson progresses.)
