I liked the strategy of having effective opening activities...the list 5, sentence stems and resumes/business cards....it is a great way to begin the day. I learned about guided discussions and ending with an inspirational and organized review of the material. All said I will be practicing.....
Engaging your students with educational discussion is just as important as giving assignments, regardless of grading. This section brings up a good point....don’t assign work simply for the sake of keeping the student busy! An ungraded discussion recapping daily events may be more beneficial than two chapters of homework.
This has been the most motivating and informative lesson that I have learned so far. I look forward to putting these teachings into practice in the very near future.
I have come to learn over the short couple of years that I have been an instructor that having impactful lessons developed and integrated has grealty improved the engavement of the students in the classroom and the lab.
