There is so much information in this PowerPoint, that I like to divide this up into smaller chunks. You can show the presentation in its entirety in about two days, giving time for class discussion. At the end there is a self-checking 25 question review. Also includes a 25 question self-grading Easel Assessment.

Did you know that you can use PowerPoints like this in Zoom for distance learning? You can also share with your students in OneDrive or in Teams, too. Just make sure to tell them to view in Slideshow mode. If you don’t want them to have the answer key, remove it first. ;) You can also upload to Google Slides, and it will automatically convert. It is editable and easy to make adjustments if necessary.
