Twig Elementary: Presenting lessons

Every lesson in Twig Science Elementary comes with a slide deck designed for live teaching. Present the slides to introduce concepts, scaffold activities, and pace the lesson from start to finish.

To use Presenter View:

1. Log in to Twig Science.
2. Use Lesson Explorer to navigate to the lesson you want to teach.
3. The lesson page opens on the Overview tab; click the Lesson tab.
   
4. Thumbnails of the slides used when presenting lessons will appear in each section of the Lesson tab. Accompanying each thumbnail is a classroom prompt to engage students and help you teach the lesson. The prompts help you lead a discussion, review a rubric, launch an activity, or review prior knowledge.
   
5. To present the material, click Present Lesson at the top of the lesson plan. This will start the lesson at the its beginning. Alternately, you can click the Present button on any asset thumbnail to start presenting at that precise location.
   

6. A new tab will open with the Presenter View. If you're using multiple monitors, you can drag this window to another screen to present it to the class.

   Control the Presenter View using the buttons along the bottom of the screen, as explained in the table below:
