Sequence of Key Learning Activities1. Bell Ringer: review bones of the skull2. Notes: Vertebral Column Students will create own notes using ARI Keeper strategy (word builder, summarizer, keeper, questioner) Use I do, we do , you do to demonstrate strategy3. Exploring the vertebral column Students will use site to sketch and label vertebrae for notes4. Practice labeling bones, as time allows5. Exit Slip: Vertebral Column Venn Diagram Students identify structures all 3 have in common, and those specific to cervical
