Facilitation guidance from the lesson plan — what to notice in student thinking and how to respond while teaching.

20.A.1 Integrate text and media to gather additional information to clarify how ocean currents that circulate cooler and warmer waters to different latitudes affect air mass temperature and humidity.
What to do
Examine students’ exit tickets to see if they are (1) making causal connections between ocean temperatures and air mass humidity, (2) using information from multiple sources, and (3) identifying important ideas about ocean circulation and temperature that would affect the chance of precipitation in a location. Use this information to adjust your approach and to prepare for the Consensus Discussion on day 2.
