Getting started on work

Practice a helpful move for getting started on work.

Picture cards: Look at the task · Choose the first move · Try it

Use a pretend example. Students may watch or pass. Read the picture cards aloud. Say, “Watch me try one move.” Then model the words or action below.

Choose a two-minute starter. Say “I’ll open the slides and type the title.” Try it once with a partner. Switch roles and try it again.

Say, “Show or tell me your first move.” Point to the card that matches. If needed, model it together once more.
