Prime your students for learning, activate prior knowledge, and develop critical thinking through the use of visuals that make students think…What do I notice? What do I wonder?
One way to use this activity is to have a visual displayed when the students walk into class asking them what they notice and wonder. Choose visuals that pertain to what you will be covering in class.
For example:
