Planning Instruction and Designing Learning Experiences

<p>
2. Explicit Instructions - written out for students<br>
are important because they give clarity and direction for students to complete assignments successfully<br>
*activity- students need to listen/read instructions to create a picture that's being described without ever seeing it.<br>
*Make step by step directions (including things such as "sit with partner". When students ask for help ask them "what step are you up to"?<br>
*Using prior work models to focus group on creation of final product.<br>
*If product/work is long term, give them daily progress expectations<br>
*Give mini-grades for the small parts of long term projects.<br>
*Write instructions for student in language they understand<br>
*Have students write directions in their own words<br>
*Give students more than one way on different occasions to do the same thing utilizing different learning modalities.<br>
