Instructional Ideas

• Create guided notes for pupils that align with the presentation so they may have a study guide for assessments
• Have learners create their own MadLibs-type paragraph by writing about a topic, removing all of the nouns from their writing, and substituting the nouns with blanks; use it as a learning check for the material

Classroom Considerations

• Seating arrangements should be structured for direct instruction

Pros

• Formative assessment with answers is embedded in presentation
• Presentation begins with an attention-getting question—engaging from the start

Cons

• Resource references MySpace, an out-of-date technology that some scholars may not recognize
