Cognition: Scripts and Schemas

Students will see the relevance of using scripts and schemas in making sense of their daily world. This lesson includes engaging notes with a graphic organizer, a small group hexagonal thinking sort activity, and a small group discussion. The hexagon activity does require prior preparation, but the rest of the lesson is ready to print and use.

This lesson is planned for a 90 minute block. It includes a bellringer, agenda with suggested times, copies to print, easy to follow directions, and formative assessment exit tickets. All lessons include higher order thinking and student dialogue.
