(Synchronous)
Read I can statement and get into the information - make sure they
know that this is what they will know at the end of the lesson.

Lesson/Activity Doing the slides, I will read through and build on various things from
(Synchronous) each slide
● Covering the difference between commonly known erosion and
its close counterparts
● Let them know they can ask questions
● Give examples while giving them the information so they have
something to connect it to if possible!

Active Exploration and
Application
(Asynchronous - Independent)
Introducing the quizizz. I will put the link down or tell them to open a
new tab and give them the code.
● Do quizizz and talk about questions that majority got wrong or
review shortly after each answer
● They can also ask questions during the quizizz, but stay on the
call so they can review after.

Closing/Reflection Now that we've finished our quizizz, lets review- depending on time.
(Synchronous) ● Everyone say one thing you learned or still have a question
about
● Thank them for joining

Questions to answer – Be specific and give examples of what you would do or what you would use

How would you engage students I wouldn’t just give a lesson and homework, I would make the lesson
online? fun and have games and activities during it. Sometimes homework is
okay, but doing it together as a class is more engaging and keeps
students' lives stress free while they aren’t in a working environment.
How would you handle
classroom management online?
Making sure the students have the ability to raise their hands during
the meetings and that they understand the importance of school and
continuing to complete the work. Trying to connect with them, even
while not in person is something that is important to me and I would
strive to do this to make students comfortable during online meets.
