Bell Ringer and Prior Knowledge Tap


This can be together or separate. Also may be called: set induction, anticipatory set, introduction/review

Bell Ringer: Where does the glucose that is needed for cellular respiration come from? How does that huge glucose molecule make it into the tiny mitochondria?

______________ Procedure
Teacher input, development, instructional method(s), modeling, guided practice, independent practice,

1. The teacher will provide a copy of the article for the students to read. The teacher will instruct the students to read the article quietly to themselves. (Visual) 2. The teacher will instruct the students to write a short summary about the article after they have completed the reading assignment and reflect upon the main points of the article. 3. Prior to starting the reading exercise the teacher will ask students

and/or activities

4. Accommodations for learning modalities are required. Labelvisual, auditory, and kinesthetic 5. 6. 7.

Hackett 2011 if they understand the quiet reading/thinking process. (Directions) After all students have completed the reading and thinking exercise, the teacher will instruct the students to pair up with someone sitting close to them and to share their thoughts and ideas with regards to the article. (Think-Pair-Share)(Visual, Auditory, Tactile/Kinesthetic) RBIS #1 Cooperative Learning RBIS #2 Summarizing and Note Taking The teacher will instruct the students to elaborate on their summaries and note important aspects that their partners picked up on. The teacher will provide guidance with respect to the content that was to be gathered from the article, by circulating about the room and answering questions. The teacher will instruct the students to write a short essay (1-2 pages) about the importance of our diets with regards to the process of cellular respiration for homework.

Checks for Understanding Label: directions, procedures, routines, and/or content (formative) Assessment Type and purpose
(sometimes called evaluation)

1. Prior to starting the reading exercise the teacher will ask students if they understand the quiet reading/thinking process a thumbs up for yes and down for no, to signify comprehension. (Directions) 2. The teacher will move about the room to check on the progress of the paired students, to formatively assess student comprehension of the reading. (Informal) 3. Essay (Content) - Homework Essay linking diet to the cellular respiration process based upon the article from class. (Summative) RBIS #3 Homework & Practice As this process begins with ingestion of food and oxygen, simple life choices can hinder these processes from occurring. This reflects the need to produce energy in the most efficient manner possible to eliminate wastes. This may be met with contention. However the promise of a review game in the class to follow before the summative exam will help.
