a. Review: After the class has answered the question to the best of their ability, and the discussion is complete, TTW assess if there needs to be a review of the previous day’s lesson. If a review is needed, TTW have the students get out their notes and will review the material with them.

D. Presentation of New Material: TSW read their notes handout, and then answer the questions on the worksheet that covers the notes. Answers are to come from the notes handout, and not any other source. TS may open the video and complete their worksheet if they desire. However, they may have to use the notes handout as well for some of the answers. Here is the link to the video(s): Accomplishments
