Before starting the lesson, high expectations are being made through the use of the lesson’s anticipatory set. Students become engaged with a hook that prepares them for the content that will be delivered. The teacher provides background information on how, when, and where would the mask be required for use in the real world. The teacher also helps students take responsibility for their own participation and learning by providing needed materials.
