[LM_NET] 3rd grade demo lesson

["Kathy D'Angelo" <Kgold795@AOL.COM>]

I was called in to do a demo with a 3rd grade class. They would prefer  
something not literature based and not using technology, as they don't have the  
capabilities for demo purposes. 
 
I tried a dictionary lesson today where I am student teaching with a 3rd  
grade class that I had wanted to do on my demo. The children seemed to have  a 
lot of difficulty with it. It's quite a large dictionary, but all that is  
available there. It seems as though they cannot alphabetize yet completely.  I did 
not get through even half the lesson, as looking up a few words took  most of 
the time.
 
I'm looking for alternative lessons or even a more manageable dictionary  
idea. Any help would be really appreciated. Please email me directly at

Thanks in advance,
