Teacher Notes

I made these presentations nine years ago and used them up until this past year when I used another presentation that I found instead. I did a formative assessment to see how much the students understood, and their comprehension level was very low. I posted these PowerPoints to my website and told my students to review the information. The vast majority of my students came to me the next day and asked why I didn't use these PowerPoints all along. They understood better from these slides.
