I. Standard(s):
A. Clear Target: I can demonstrate an understanding of the Punic Wars; its key players; and the role of new fighting techniques
B. Bell Ringer: TTW start the class by having TS complete a bell ringer activity (C below) while TT takes care of admin things in the classroom (attendance and such). After administrative tasks are complete, and TS have had at least 5 minutes of class time for the bell ringer, TTW continue the class by reading the posted school and classroom rules. Next, TTW have a student give a classroom rule and the SOAR principle that it falls under. This reinforces the rules in the students at the beginning of the class, and gets some critical thinking started. After the rules, TTW tell some funny riddles to continue the critical thinking, and to get TS ready to learn. TTW then read the clear target to TS and discuss any terms or concepts in the target that may need explaining.
1. Interest Cue: The interest cue for the day is the bell ringer activity. It is a GIMKIT over the day’s lesson.
