Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners create a word wall for the vocabulary terms in the unit

Classroom Considerations

  • Activities require various materials; see each lesson for a complete list
  • Lessons provide standards information only for a particular state and may need to be adapted for your locality

Pros

  • Each lesson has printable cloze notes (with answers in teacher guide) to use with students
  • Using graphic organizers in each lesson helps pupils make sense of information

Cons

  • Teacher guide and student notes reference a particular textbook that may not be applicable to your situation
