Essential Question(s)
Procedure
The teacher constructs the anticipation guide by identifying the key concepts to be reviewed by students.
Students read each of the statements and students decide if they agree or disagree with the statement, or if the statements are true or false.
After students have finished reviewing the statements, the teacher facilitates a whole-class or small group discussion.
Optional: Revisit the anticipation guide after instruction, so students can determine if they still agree or disagree with the statements.
