to the teacher • This product is a 30 week long weekly
warm-up for Texas History with a daily question
• It is great for a bell-ringer or warm-up activity
• I have used this product in a few different ways: • Make a copy of the whole product for each
student and place it in a folder with brads for the whole year (this means only prep once and you are done for the year)
• Make a copy of each week and hand it out on Monday and collect each Friday
• Project the warm-up each day and students answer in their journals (this saves a TON of paper, but can be difficult for students that struggle with organization)
• I usually give students two minutes to answer on their own, a minute to discuss their answers, and then we share out.
