In this part of instruction, the teacher checks for short-term understanding to ensure that the students heard and understood what they were just taught. This could be doen through think-pair-share, white-boards, and many other activities. From this point, the teacher has the option to practice, reteach, abandon, move on, or extend and can make this decision after judging the class's comprehension.

Lastly, we have independent practice. This is where the teacher assigns each student an independent task to help them practice the learning target for the lesson. Independent practice can be seen through a worksheet, writing assignment, performance evaluation, practice activity, or any other independednt activity. This kind of practice will help the teacher be able to see where they may need to elaborate more and where the students have a good understanding of the topic.
