Lessons tell the story
Lessons tell the story
Lessons tell the story of learning each week. This story may include learning that occurs prior to the class or after the class, as well as during class. While the course outline in the syllabus may list the readings, activities and assignments due in a particular week, they may not inform the learner exactly when or how you would like them to interact with them.
Coinciding with the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which galvanized the LGBT rights movement, New York City played host to Gay Games IV in June of 1994. Participating were 10,864 athletes (more than the 1992 or 1996 Olympics) across 31 events, including wrestling. Among the matches at NYU’s Coles Sports and Recreation Center were the first-ever internationally sanctioned women’s wrestling competitions.

The Three Acts
The Three Acts
Plays and movies often have three acts. We suggest also organizing each Lesson into three sections:
Pre-Class Preparation: the purpose of this section is to prime your students for each class.
In-Class Workshop: the purpose of this section is to provide your students with a high-level lesson plan or agenda. Exposure to planned talking points allows students to scaffold their learning. You can also use this section to post your slides and any content that students generated during the session, such as whiteboard images or shared Google Docs.
Post-Class Applications: the purpose of this section is to close the session out.
The first step is chunking the course outline for each week into these sections.

Keep in Mind: As students learn new material it is important to breakdown content into more manageable "bite-size" pieces of information. As students master more content, the large the chunks of information can be.
