Instructional Procedures Week 1 Pose the essential question, What are things that you can find in the space? Begin by asking students about things that they can find in the space, either from their previous lesson, reading a book or magazine or watching the television. In small groups, have students begin to talk about things in space that they know and brainstorm their thoughts, examples, and ideas. Bring the discussion back to the whole group and chart the group’s responses. This is a great opportunity to talk about things they know and exists and things that are probably just their imaginations. Pose the unit question, What can you see in the sky during the nightfall? Ask students to collect information about activities they do outside the home during the nightfall.
