Then a PowerPoint presentation leads students through the vocabulary of the unit with pictures, definitions, and examples. Fill-in notes are included for modified students or as a quick alternative for all students. A two-sided handout to check for understanding is included, which focuses on application of the new vocabulary in real-world situations.
