Note to Studio Designer [Delete this box when you are ready to publish this page]
If the Studio Unit Overview did not designate a specific entry event, it may be your job to create one. Read on:
Rather than simply announce a project, we can generate interest by creating a special event that takes our class out of their routine, and lets them know something special is about to happen. Entry events should engage and intrigue, and provoke students to want to know more. We avoid pre-teaching important content, because we have not yet created that need to know. Entry events might be a virtual field trip, a virtual guest speaker, a video, a simulation or a piece of real or mock correspondence. After the entry event, the students should have a need to know more. The entry event should provoke student questions. The goal is to grab the hearts and minds of your students.
In this stepping stone, we will use background knowledge to analyze multiple perspectives.
