Pre-Unit - Creating Title Pages

This title page was created as a way to
- introduce chapter vocabulary
- assess student understanding/evaluation of key concepts and their representations in the textbook
- demonstrate acquired knowledge visually
- develop a basic concept set as it applies to the scientific unit (e.g. senses refer to the physical senses and how the body perceives exterior stimuli)
- help generate student questions about the content
- develop a shared set of experiences/low-level knowledge in the area prior to inquiry
