- Use K/W/L charts to help students organize their thoughts and questions.1
- Provide opportunities for students to share their own experiences and perspectives, and encourage them to listen to and learn from each other2.3
- Use mini-lessons on topics in the news that can be adapted to teach in one class period or less.4
