Introduce the lesson using this slide. How will you hook students and gain their interest? What notes will students be required to take? **students should NEVER be allowed to sit idly while the teacher talks – if it’s important enough for the teacher to write, it’s important enough for the student to write.
Remember that notes (and how students take them, where they keep them, and how they use them again) must be intentional
Additional facilitating will happen in small groups.
Frontloading can happen in any of the following ways:
Activate prior knowledge
Model thought process
I do, we do, you do
Use verbal cues
Motivational context to pique student interest/curiosity
Display historical timeline to offer a context for learning
Model activity students will be asked to complete
Break complex tasks into easier steps
Offer hints/partial solutions to problems
Teach students chants/mnemonic devices to ease memorization of key facts/procedures
Guiding students to make a prediction about what expect to occur
Allow students to contribute their own experiences that relate to the subject/content being discussed
