Students will not see this slide. This slide is simply meant for you to plan the questions you’re going to ask and to tell what part of the lesson you will ask those questions. Additionally, you will explain what questioning techniques you intend to use during this lesson.
This slide is intended to make you intentional about questioning students. It in no way limits how many questions you should ask, but it helps you to plan for the minimum amount of questions you should ask during any lesson.

Instructional supplies and copied are prepared.
This is the 1st slide seen by students. The time does not begin until you click the slide.
This slide should be “clicked” when the bell rings ending class (there is enough time allotted for students to have 8 minutes to complete bellwork from when the short bell sounds.
Bellwork introduces the lesson or is a warm-up to what students are going to do today. In some cases, bellwork is a review of what happened during the last class period.
Write your bellwork in the space provided. If you are giving students a hand-out to complete, make a notation on this slide.
When this slide is finished, bellwork should be collected BEFORE you go over the answers.
All bellwork must be graded and returned in 24 hours or the grade will not count.
Time is not extended.
***Students should answer three standards-based questions (test questions)

Introduce the lesson using this slide. How will you hook students and gain their interest? What notes will students be required to take? **students should NEVER be allowed to sit idly while the teacher talks – if it’s important enough for the teacher to write, it’s important enough for the student to write.
Remember that notes (and how students take them, where they keep them, and how they use them again) must be intentional
Additional facilitating will happen in small groups.
Frontloading can happen in any of the following ways:
Activate prior knowledge
Model thought process
I do, we do, you do
Use verbal cues
Motivational context to pique student interest/curiosity
Display historical timeline to offer a context for learning
Model activity students will be asked to complete
Break complex tasks into easier steps
Offer hints/partial solutions to problems
Teach students chants/mnemonic devices to ease memorization of key facts/procedures
Guiding students to make a prediction about what expect to occur
Allow students to contribute their own experiences that relate to the subject/content being discussed

During this three minutes, you will tell students which tier they will begin. Give students a chance to move, collect supplies, etc (if applicable)… You can simply copy and paste these same assignments on the next slide.
How to complete the slides:
Decide which students will begin in which tier. True differentiation does not require all students to complete all assignments.
The “TIER 1” assignment should utilize verbs from the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s.
*In the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s, students remember/recall previously learned information. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state
The “TIER 2” assignment should utilize verbs from the COMPREHENSION and APPLICATION levels of Bloom’s.
*In the COMPREHENSION level of Bloom’s, students demonstrate an understanding of the facts. The verbs to use in this level are: classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalized, give examples, identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, select, summarize, translate
*In the APPLICATION level of Bloom’s, students apply knowledge to actual situations. The verbs to use in this level are: apply, change, choose, compute, demonstrate, discover, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, manipulate, modify, operate, practice, predict, prepare, produce, relate, schedule, show, sketch, solve, use, write
Today’s Task is simply copied from slide 2 of this presentation. This is the last assignment students will complete before leaving class. Students only have 14 minutes to complete this assignment and timing for this assignment will continue on the next few slides.

12. Why is this important? 2 minutes 1 minute TIME IS UP!
it is important to understand the inventions of the Indian empire to know where some of the things we used came from
What do you think was the most important achievement? why ?
Why is this important: Allow students to process what they are learning today and discuss how what they have learned will be useful (they can not say so that can pass the class nor can they say “for the test”…
