HOW TO USE IT

Look over the lesson plan to see the steps and the materials you need, and gather them in advance so there is no panic during the lesson. You may want to make a sample yourself first so you can help students later. Photocopy the student handouts, such as the step-by-steps and rubric.

Print the poster sample in color to show students what they are making before you start, as your hook. Then project the PDF, show it under a document camera (best printed in color), or use it as your own guide while you demonstrate. Every step has both a visual and a text description, which keeps things clear for students.
