Chapter 8 Introduction Model Activity Lesson Segments

An Introduction is one of the following:

• Warm-up to intrigue and interest students
• Review or introduction of prior knowledge needed for the lesson
• Pre-Assessment of student understanding, knowledge, and/or skill

 

The introduction requires students to make a connection to the topic being explored through a primary source- based short activity.  Introductions explicitly connect to an Understanding Goal or big idea for the unit or for the subject area and are differentiated to engage diverse learners.
