Embedded Files
In the Interactive Lecture, a teacher provides a series of typically word-free (or word-light) images projected on a screen that relate to a content standard. Students discuss the image, and take turns speaking about the image in front of the class, as though they are lecturing. The teacher then reinforces or corrects students’ hypotheses. Lectures are typically several images done in this way.
Procedure
Teacher creates a digital presentation (like ppt) with images and either no words or very few words that presents and connects the ideas of the content to be addressed.
Teachers creates copies of the lecture slides (like the Handouts format on ppt. Often done as 3 slides per page) so that students can write into it as they go through the lecture. (for ppt: File - Print - Slides - Handouts(3 slides per page) )
(Optional) A teacher finds a resource like a text book or video for the students to engage with before the interactive lecture. This resource is shared at the beginning of the lesson, or as homework in preparation.
At the beginning of the lecture, students receive the printed out slides from the presentation. They can be given some time to translate what they see in the images to the text or the video they have just engaged with.
Teacher shares presentation with students, 1 slide at a time, and invites any students to come forward, speak to the rest of the class, and share what they think the images represent. Other students might come forward as well, one at a time.
When students have completed their thinking, the teacher follows up after each slide to share the intent of the images on this slide. This usually involves the reinforcing of correct ideas, and gives the teacher a chance to address the misperceptions that might have arisen during student interpretation.
While the teacher is debriefing each slide, students are welcome to add notes to their printouts of the slides.
