Related concepts are keen!
Which are concepts? Which is facts?
Concepts:
Build on prior knowledge. Very important! (Not just a KWL)
Think of it different. Starting to tap into it the second week.
Provocation timing. Beginning of a learning process.
Review previous units that may not have caught on. Why would a student be interested in learning about this?
Topic - something from currculum
Ask - What is the purpose? why is it compelling, significant, intriuing
Understanding goals - students will understand by the end of the unit.
Selecting concepts (related) - what concepts are the focus for the unit?
