(Use “worksheets” cautiously. You might use the worksheet as a model, in a
collaborative group where students only have one worksheet and have to discuss
the answers, or you might display the worksheet on the board and use 1-2 questions
as an exit ticket or journal response where they answer the question and
explain/justify their answers.)
