We will statements are introduced at the beginning of every lesson. This lets each student know what we are learning during that
workshop.
I can statements are also introduced at the beginning of the lesson. The “I can” statement lets the student know what they will be responsible for knowing or showing at the end of the lesson.
What are these “We will” and “I Can” statements?
