Agenda for World History – Chap 2_Sec 2.3 – 2.4 ______
① GAIN ATTENTION – the Engager (Bell Work)
View a slideshow depicting this unit’s Word Wall terms

· While viewing a slide, write that picture’s related term beside its number on the sheet
② INFORM LEARNERS OF OBJECTIVES – the Frame ...welcoming the Guest
1. Explain today’s objective... 2. Relate to the Standard(s)... 3. Show in current classwork
Standard 7.6.3 – Understand the development of feudalism, its role in the medieval European
economy, the way in which it was influenced by physical geography (the role of the manor and the growth of towns), and how feudal relationships provided the foundation of political order.

⑥ ELICIT PERFORMANCE (practice) – students do the task with teacher’s direction and assistance
Begin notetaking in Chapter 2, pages 22-23
· Use Notetaking Guidelines to set-up a page for notetaking in one’s Interactive Notebook
· Create an “informal” outline
o Copy text headings as section titles for notes
o Write the main idea for every paragraph as bulleted points beneath each heading
⑤ PROVIDE “LEARNING GUIDANCE”
Advise students of strategies to aid them in learning content and of resources available.
· Provide scaffolds (cues, hints, prompts)
· Model varied learning strategies
o Use concept mapping (adding Thinking Maps to students’ notes)
o Use illustrations (visualizations) to make the content more life-like
⑦ PROVIDE FEEDBACK (PPL)
1. Confirmatory: praise student accomplishments in writing new notes and thinking maps [P1]
2. Corrective: identify ways (give prompts) to improve the notes [P2]
⑨ ENHANCE RETENTION AND TRANSFER
1. Review the notes taken from textbook, pages 22-23
2. Paraphrase content while writing the “Summary” across bottom of today’s notes
⑧ ASSESS PERFORMANCE (Review – the Debrief: Evaluate)
· Embed questions throughout instruction through oral questioning and/or quizzes
Homework: Read next section + Complete informal outline notes for initial section (~ 5 paragraphs)
· Assess and evaluate the quality and quantity of student achievement – Step 6 above
[HOM: Striving for accuracy]
