Create an Introduction Card
Your introduction should act as a gateway to the learning experience. Follow these steps to create a strong opening:
Introduce your topic. Define what you will teach and what makes the subject unique.
Excite the learner. Use an interesting fact or a short story to spark curiosity.
Ask a leading question. While optional, this encourages active thinking before the lesson officially begins.
Identify required materials. Let the learner know what materials they will need during a lesson.
