Hey, how do I download it?
This is a warmer, and there is nothing to download. It's just an idea for your lesson, not a worksheet.
After students have come in having read on a topic such as about the role of fathers in contemporary society, for example, have them spend a few minutes writing their ideas on the topic. It can be from a simple prompt on the board: “What do you think of fathers today?” Or they can simply be directed to write, without a prompt, their ideas about the reading. Have them share their writing with a peer when they are finished.
This activity gets students reviewing the topic and primed to talk about it before class begins. It also gives the teacher some idea of the understanding students were able to glean from the reading, how prepared they are for class, and any misconceptions they might have on the topic.
