Suggestions for using this guide and setting up your classroom

Online
If you have a sufficient number of computers in the classroom, students can work in small groups, in pairs, or individually. Here are two options for the classroom:

• Collectively use the Guide to foster classroom conversation. Conversation can be extended by using the Additional Questions.

Have your students work in small groups. Either you or the students can select a spokesperson from each group to present their group's responses, ideas, and further questions. These mini-presentations can be followed by a larger classroom conversation facilitated by the Core and Additional Questions.

Slide Discussion
If you are using the printed version of the teacher guide, you may want to keep the following in mind when setting up the room:

• Test your slide projector in advance to make sure it is working. You may need an extension cord.
  
  
• If you do not have a slide screen, white paper or a plain white wall will suffice.
  
  
• Make sure that the projected image is visible to all students.
  
  
• Check to see if the slide is oriented properly (red/black dot should appear on the upper right hand corner, facing away from the screen when placed in the carousel).
