Starting a new unit or lesson can sometimes be difficult, both for the teacher and the students. How can the educator get them excited/interested in the topic? How can she find out what the students already know or, more importantly, what they “know” incorrectly that must be corrected for real learning to take place? What do the students need to begin connecting the new learning to old? One good technique that can help with all of these issues is the brain dump scoot.
