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 slide set of the teacher guide (available for Modern Starts and Making Choices), 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).
