  • Skip 2 blank lines before writing next term-with-definition
  • Keep the right margin empty

② INFORM LEARNERS OF OBJECTIVES – the Frame ...welcoming the Guest

1. Explain today’s objective... 2. Relate to the Standard(s)... 3. Show in current classwork

Standard 7.6.3 – Understand the development of feudalism, its role in the medieval European

  • Create an “informal” outline
  • Copy text headings as section titles for notes
  • Write the main idea for every paragraph as bulleted points beneath each heading

⑤PROVIDE “LEARNING GUIDANCE”

Advise students of strategies to aid them in learning content and of resources available.

  • Provide scaffolds (cues, hints, prompts)
  • Model varied learning strategies
  • Use concept mapping (adding Thinking Maps to students’ notes)
  • Use illustrations (visualizations) to make the content more life-like

⑦ PROVIDE FEEDBACK (PPL)

1. Confirmatory: praise student accomplishments in writingnew notes and thinking maps [P1]

2. Corrective:identify ways (give prompts) to improve the notes [P2]

⑨ ENHANCE RETENTION AND TRANSFER

1. Review the notes taken from textbook, pages 20-21

2. Paraphrase content while writing the “Summary” across bottom of today’s notes

⑧ ASSESS PERFORMANCE (Review – the Debrief: Evaluate)

  • Embed questions throughout instructionthrough oral questioning and/or quizzes

Homework: Read next section + Complete informal outline notes for initial section (~ 5 paragraphs)

  • Assess and evaluate the quality and quantity of student achievement – Step 6 above
    [HOM: Striving for accuracy]
