Just created this too cute engagement activity you can use for any lesson or grade level! It centers around the teacher placing something in the bag that has something to do with whatever the "topic of interest" may be..( a Book, Unit, Lesson, Activity..etc) The students must go through different processes( predicting, writing, drawing, and inferencing) to figure out what is in the bag.
My product includes creative printables with adorable detective characters to take the students through those processes!!! My kids love it ;))
