Ideas from Fellow Teachers

1. Begin your lesson with an introductory hook, such as a brain teaser, a personal anecdote connected to the subject, a historical example, or a relevant video

2. Incorporate physical movement by allowing students to rotate through different stations around the room during an activity

3. Let students color a picture that relates to your lesson

4. After reading a story, ask students to draw a picture that summarizes what they learned
