How will you introduce the topic or lesson (Make sure its engaging) Preparing study guides -Prepare study guides that will help the students better understand the lesson. (Study guides, graphic organizersetc.) - Make sure you have both visual and effective study guides to help students see related concepts and make meaningful connections with material.

Peer Instruction- Students return their original groups and teach them about the new research and information. Set a given time the students are meant to present. Encourage taking notes and asking questions. Review and closure Fill in gaps of useful information.

Formative assessment-Class discussion with feedback and ideas. Students could also submit one or two sentences identifying the main point of the lesson.
