Strategies of a Lesson

Considerations:

• • Who is part of your presentation team?

  • What are the cross-curricular connections?

  • What is the "right length" of your video conference?

  • How do your engage students in your presentation?

    • Ways to make a connection to the school site

      • Have school introduce their class (grade level, subject area, school mascot, etc.)

      • Show a map (if computer capable use google maps) of where you are at and the school is at.

      • Other idea?

    • Engaging tips during the lesson

      • If you ask a question have the teacher select a student to answer. (You can go by color of shirt, front row, etc. but easier and quicker to have teacher do the selection.)

      • If you ask a question ask students to partner to discuss and then share answer

    • If you ask a question and want to get a group response of understanding have them give a visible gesture. Example thumbs up for understand - sideways for not sure - down for don't get it.

    • Leave time for questions at the end of the lesson.

      • If possible include student movement within lesson.
