Week One of My Study
Week One Wednesday
1:15pm – 1:30pm Direct instruction using power point slide show and printed materials which were provided to each student. In addition to listening to the presentation, students were encouraged to participate by filling in pre-selected blanks on their handouts which corresponded to the slide show presentation.
1:30pm – 1:45pm Students now put away their paperwork and team leaders, who were also randomly assigned, are given a list of discussion questions and points directly related to the topic just presented. Students begin to discuss in their small groups with their main focus being on how they can take the techniques just learned and translate them into workable solutions to their current backgrounds, strengths and areas for improvement.
