Arc de Triomphe

Teacher Guide
This lesson is designed to teach kids to ask a critical thinking question that you can’t just put into a search box to
solve. To do that, we encourage them with smaller questions that search can help them answer. Make sure that
you read the notes for each slide: they not only give you teaching tips but also provide answers and hints so you
can help the kids if they are having trouble.
