Answer 1

In a closed sort, the teacher provides guidance and structured categories for sorting words.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a closed sort, the teacher tells the students how to sort the words and provides the names of the categories. Closed sorts are more structured than open sorts and are excellent for guided practice of a concept that has been taught.

For example, in a closed sort activity for sorting words by the letter in front of the _ in each word, the teacher would provide the categories (e.g. words with 'sh' or 'ch') and guide the students in placing each word into the correct category.
