Product details:

Unit Cover: Unit cover is editable for teachers to add their own state standards and benchmarks. Unit cover includes a word bank with a list of typical vocabulary words covered throughout the unit.
Anticipation Guide: This pre/post-assessment has ten statements students will identify as either true or false and then explain. Students will then be asked to create a title page by writing the unit title and include three pictures with four colors. This provides the teacher an opportunity to discover what students know, don’t know, and will learn. Use them as warm-ups too!
Presentation: A 19 presentation slide is included with the same questions from the printouts, which can lead a whole class discussion.
