Think-Pair-Share
Have you ever been so sore (or injured) that it hurt to walk? How did it feel? What did you look like when you walked?
3. Think-pair-share
teacher presents a question
teacher gives wait time for student to form answer
teacher instructs students to share their answer with a partner
teacher calls on non-volunteers to share with the class
