Lecture for obtaining information

Task Patterns

Description:
Lecture is an effective way for students to acquire knowledge of terms, basic facts, and simple concepts.

Implementation notes
1. Conduct a pre-class survey to learn about student background and their prior knowledge on the subject. Make your class be adaptive and not bore or overwhelm the students.
2. Focus on principle and concepts that help students categorize the facts need to memorize, i.e., if students have several facts to memorize about education reform, teachers can provide organizing schema to facilitate students’ self-generated information.
