Students are hungry for more!
• Appetizer- Gets you excited for the meal.
• Entrée- The Meat & Potatoes.
• Dessert- The finale.
Every dish on the menu needs a recipe:
• Preparation = Planning• Instructions = Demo• Ingredients = Activities• Finished dish = Understanding*Stay flexible- Substitutions may be necessary!
Things to think about…• What do you want them to know or do, and
what do they already know?• How do you make the topic or task
memorable?• How much time do you have?• How can you incorporate a variety of tasks?• What materials are available?• How do you meet the needs of all students?
Variety is the spice of life!**You can address so many needs with more variety:
• Learning Styles• Ability Levels• Connecting Subjects• Pacing / Limited Attention Spans• Flexibility• More Comprehensive Understanding• Gives Students Options• Assessing Differently
