Before presenting any information, Mrs. Thomas must first gain the students' attention. This is important because students will not be able to learn effectively if they are not focused and engaged. Once she has their attention, she can then present the information using a combination of visual and verbal methods (dual coding) to help the students understand the new vocabulary and concepts.
