A CLASSROOM MOMENT

WHAT THIS COULD LOOK LIKE

Refresh your background before a lesson

Before introducing a unit on ecosystems, select the relevant subject, search for the chapter and review its key terms. Use the reference to prepare your own lesson notes, then keep personal reminders in Quick Notes rather than expecting them to save in the Notebook.
