CONDUCTING PRESENTATION LESSONS

The syntax of a presentation lesson consists of four basic phases

PHASE 1

Clarifying the aims of the lesson and getting students ready to learn

PHASE 2

Presenting the advance organizer

PHASE 3

Present the new information

PHASE 4

Monitor and check students’ understanding and extend and strengthen their thinking skills

MANAGE THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Be an active presenter

Quiet area with good visibility for students

Let the students know that there is no talking while the teacher is talking

Motive students to watch and listen

Expect anything

ASSESSMENT AND EVALUATION

Test students’ knowledge

Test at all levels of knowledge and not for simple recall of factual information

Communicate clearly to students that what they will be tested on.

Test frequently rather than wait for midterms, finals, etc.

“Teaching is more than just talking. Successful presentation lessons require extensive preparation.”
