Have students pull out their manila folders with their work from last time.
“Today we are going to continue working on our study guides. You will finish up your research and drafts from last time, but now I would also like you to completely design and create your study guide. In the back I have provided paper and crayons so you can color and design your study guide. Keep in mind what kinds of things we saw in the examples and how you want to create your study guide to look.”
Give students the rest of the period to create their study guides. As students work, rove around the class and check in on the students and make sure they are staying on task.
