Given that this chapter on atomic structure is one of the first in the textbook, it will likely be taught very early on in a chemistry class. And since the students are only allowed to use one other student per question, they must talk to a variety of people, hopefully including other students they may not often talk to. This asks students to get up, move around, and socialize with other students. What I really love about this activity, though, is that not only does it have educational merit it also provides social and physical engagement. This will help students locate where this chapter is headed and will help them to better focus and have a stronger sense of purpose as they read the chapter, which are important precursors to truly engage with a text. This activity also introduces the students to the key vocabulary, people, and topics within the chapter. Students will not only be asked to tap into their own prior knowledge but also will be introduced to a variety other students’. The first is that this encourages students to activate and make connections to any prior knowledge they may have on the topic. I have chosen a People Search as a Before Reading Activity for the chapter on Atomic Structure for several reasons. It also provides social and physical engagement. He maintains that this activity encourages students to activate and make connections to any prior knowledge they may have on the topic. Master of Science in Education student Eric Garay offers a lesson plan for a "people search" as a before-reading activity for a chemistry textbook chapter on atomic structure.
