This activity will get the class thinking/wondering about what is going to discussed in the lecture.

Ā At the end of class I will break the students into groups of four for a discussion period with their peers. Some students may be uncomfortable asking questions in front of the entire class, so this will provide a space where students can get clarification from each other and ask questions amongst their group. At this time students can compare their learning objective worksheet with each other. I will also go around to each group and see how they are doing. |
