New Content/Review

This is where you really get into the bulk of the new or review content you're teaching your students. You'll likely rely heavily in this section on our content types for this part. 


Remember, not every content needs questions attached to it - this can be a helpful strategy for sharing vocabulary or formulas with students.

Consider including: 
Images/diagrams with labled components
Embedded slide deck with vocabulary/examples
Video that provides content info for students
Whiteboard for practing examples and saving them for students to use later

You've delivered some great teaching and students have seemed really engaged. Now it's time to check in on their learning. Did they understand what you taught them? Or do you need to spend more time on it? 

Consider including: 
1-2 surface level questions (Multiple Choice/Inline Choice/Drag-n-Drop)
1-2 application questions (Categorize/Free Response/Show your Work)
By creating answer keys as you're building your questions - you'll know right away (go check the "View Responses" tab) if your class is ready to move on to the next step or if you need to pump the breaks!
