Teach Like A Champion Strategy of the Week: DO NOW (pp. 161-164)
1. In the same place every day so it becomes habit-
2. complete without any direction, discussion or additional materials
3. take 3-5 min to complete- pencil to paper (written product)
4. preview the days lesson
CAUTION- the Do Now should not take more time and then become the lesson.
