Teach the Lesson:
E) Activities:
1. Morning Eye Opener
2. Give back the flash cards and go over those so what they have to study as we go along
is accurate.
3. Give them the jigsaw activity and break them into groups and have them go through the
chapter following the jigsaw outline
4. Handout the second part of the study guide. Let them get started on that and have them
work on that and tell them we will have a couple minutes to work on the next day as we
review for our test that will be on Friday.
F) Materials needed: text book, internet computer and projector, study guide and jigsaw
handouts.
G) Check of Understanding: go over the contribution flashcards and go over the study guide.
Lesson Closure:
H) Conclusion of Lesson: wrap up by hitting the high notes and letting them know about the
things that we are going to do tomorrow.
I) Reinforcement: look over the study guide especially the first part which should be done
correctly considering we went over the first part in class.
Self Evaluation of Lesson: It took us a while to figure out how to jigsaw in class today but once
we got it figured out how the groups would be broken up we were able to work much more
effectively and I was able to walk around and help the groups and make sure they were learning
what they needed so they could take it back to their groups.
