How do I use Classroom prompts?

Classroom prompts appear within each lesson on Twig Science. These prompts are designed to engage students and help you lead the lesson. The Classroom prompts can be found through out the Lesson view and when in Present Lesson mode.

Using Classroom prompts in Lesson view

Classroom prompts in Lesson view are little reminders of the next step of the lesson.

In the Lesson view you'll see the slide image for Present mode and a small description of the lesson task.

The slides in Present mode give you a prompt to;

• lead a discussion
• review a rubric
• launch an activity
• review prior knowledge.

1. Go to the lesson you plan on teaching.
2. Click the Present Lesson button.
3. You can now navigate through the lesson. You will encounter Classroom prompts as you navigate through the slides.
