This lesson is for Networking and the Internet. The student will learn the difference between a network and the internet.

This is a writing prompt choice board intended to be used in a writing center or station. In my classroom we typically use one choice board per week. Students choose up to 4 items to complete for the week. I do 4 items to give students time to finish incomplete work on Fridays, to work on final drafts, to edit a selected item, or to share their writing with peers. You can make the rules for your classroom to best suit your teaching style and your student's needs.

The choice board includes 8 prompts and one Student Choice square based on Networking and the Internet standards for first grade.

Please feel free to make a copy of the choice board and edit it to meet your specifications.
