Teacher’s/Leader’s Guide for ® We know about electrical safety! The activities below can help reinforce the material in this Know What? ® workbook when used in the classroom. Many are experiential, helping students work together to better understand issues related to electrical safety and to improve skills needed for success in school and life. You can also use these activities to help students meet select Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts (CCSS.ELA). Correlations to specific standards are listed below each activity. Visit www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy to learn more. Page 2—We all use electricity. Ask students to come up with a brief story about what their lives would be like without electricity. Record the story, printing clearly. This will help students recognize words. Next, have students “write” the story by copying what you wrote.
