Text Box / Bag ActivitiesThe Text Box/Bag Activity allows students to physically hold props that are going to be featured or connected to the upcoming text. The objects can be stored in the room. If the props that are needed are not available, the objects can be viewed on a computer or SMARTboard (Miller & Veatch, 2011).
"The use of artifacts to build background knowledge allows students to bridge the gap between the words in the text and the object or concepts they represent." Miller & Veatch, N. (2001)
