SOME TIPS PROF. ADRIANA PÉREZ SALATTO
2
Students are most likely to remember the first and last things you do in the lesson. Most people believe the first 3 minutes are the most important The beginning sets the tone for the rest of the lesson It creates psychological readiness to engage in learning Sts come wtih the question: What´s in the lesson for me?
3
Learning begins before the bell rings. Use posters, door signs,music, transparencies, and other techniques to engage the sts´minds, capture their attention and arouse participation before the class officially begins. Have everyone´s attention before you begin.Don´t try to talk over the group noise. Convey enthusiasm. It can be contagious. Try to maintain eye contact.Include everyone.
4
The opening must be connected to the main lesson. Avoid beginning the class with routine, procedural tasks like taking attendance, collecting homework, general announcements, etc.Get your lessons off to a good start. Pose a challenging question Present a startling statistic or fact about some aspect of the lesson
5
Open the class with an unusual,surprising behaviour or event. Present an interesting, relevant problem. Start with a funny story which can be true or fictional.Even better if it´s a pesonal anecdote. Use a T/F quiz reflecting major issues or research related to the topic. Use drama to let sts introduce the issue or problem that will be the focus of the day´s lesson.
6
Use a magic trick. Make a promise: By the end of the lesson you will be able to……… Draw analogies bewteen what sts have learnt previously and the new skills or content they are learning Do a K_W_L chart Initiate a memory dump activity: pair the sts and tell them: “Tell your partner everything you know about.Allow 90 seconds.Have sts switch and repeat the process. Switch and continue.
7
Use an unusual piece of equipment, artifact,collection,toy or ceature. Use a gimmick to grab your sts´attention. Add humour Vary your openings. Strive to be creative and occasionally use the element of surprise
