Anticipatory Set

How do you intend to engage your students in

thinking during the Anticipatory Set?

Warm Up: Students will be asked to think about words that describe the perfect
citizen. After a few minutes, students will be asked to share and I will write them on the
board. This will give us a quick understanding of what everyone thinks makes a good
citizen.
All students will be asked to have a word in mind, as most of them will be asked to share
with the class.
