2. Warm-Up Activities As a teacher, you always have to start with a warm-up when you begin a class to help the students waking up and start thinking about what they learned previously. The warm-up can be a quick review of the subject or a pre-lesson exercise of the new lesson. At the end of the warm-up, the teacher would take a look at where the student is at in terms of the exposure to the material they are going to learn or have learned in the previous lesson as a review.
