Anticipatory Set: The desired experiences will be visual and simulated with interpersonal and intrapersonal intelligences and with affective and cognitive domains.
The teacher will assign group two to find books of interest in the library and on the internet. Optional: They then will have a reading marathon which will culminate into a contest to be held in the city and finally in the capital judged by the Superintendent of Schools which will be sent to the U.S. capitol to be judged by the President himself. This will also help the Aims requirements for reading comprehension.
