Students find it easier to learn if they can relate new learning to what they already know. Teachers should briefly recap previous relevant lessons.� This will help the teacher to assess students' understanding and will enable students to make connections and build a mental map. � The teacher should either explain how the current lesson ties in with other lessons and topics - or elicit this information from the students.� There may have been questions raised in a previous lesson that can now be addressed. � Preview the lesson.� Set out what you are going to do together.� The presentation of the big picture helps the students to realise that there is no great ogre of difficulty lurking within the lesson. � Explain the relevance of the lesson.� Build a sense of expectation. � This phase of the lesson, brief as it is, leads naturally into the next - when goals and targets can be set.� These can be broken down into �sub-targets� (where appropriate) to make the goals achievable. |
