Active

 Integrate activities that involve active learning.

Integrate activities that involve physical movement to keep learners engaged and energized—such as jumping, dancing, or acting out vocabulary through gestures. Active participation also includes collaborative tasks like partner work or turn-and-talks that help learners process and express their ideas. In addition, incorporate active listening strategies—like signaling answers with fingers or responding as a group—and model learning behaviors through think-alouds or tracking text together. These techniques ensure learners are not passive recipients of information but are actively thinking, participating, and physically involved throughout instruction.
