Creating reveal lesson activities

You can use tables and cell shades to create a variety of reveal lesson activities. The following are two examples:

• A puzzle-style reveal lesson activity where you reveal parts of a picture until students can guess what the picture is.

• A memory-style reveal lesson activity where you reveal the contents of the cell and then ask students to choose other cells until they find the cell with matching contents.

To create a puzzle-style reveal lesson activity

1. Create a table with the number of cells you want to include in the reveal lesson activity (see Creating tables in SMART Notebook software).

2. Resize the cells as appropriate (see Resizing tables, columns or rows).

3. Select the table, press the table’s menu arrow, and then select Properties.

   The Properties tab appears.

4. Press Fill Effects.

5. Select Image fill, press Browse, browse to and select the picture you want to use in the reveal lesson activity, and then press Open.

6. Select Scale image to fit.

7. Press the table’s menu arrow, and then select Add Table Shade.

To create a memory-style reveal lesson activity

1. Insert the objects you want to include in the lesson activity.

2. Create a table with the number of cells you want to include in the reveal lesson activity (see Creating tables in SMART Notebook software).

3. Resize the cells as appropriate (see Resizing tables, columns or rows).

4. Drag the objects into the cells of the table.

5. Press the table’s menu arrow, and then select Add Table Shade.

To present a reveal lesson activity

1. Press a individual cell’s cell shade to reveal the contents of the cell.

   To hide the cell behind the cell shade, press <> in the corner of the cell.
