Lesson Plan One – Teacher’s Guide
Teaching Strategies and Rationale: For preparing to have a classroom discussion, the class has the opportunity to first share ideas and experiences related to the anticipation guide amongst their peers. The teacher will later then still have the ability to direct where conversations may lead with having the power to dissolve any appropriate/unnecessary conversations.

Overall, the anticipation guide assesses the student through two different ways. The first portion of the anticipation guide aims for self-assessment and initiation of prior knowledge to the concept. The second portion serves for the opportunity for students to dissolve any misconceptions for themselves. This provides a sense of variety in the assignment to further motivate their
