Let’s Compare:
Teacher 1:
• Tells students to read the first 3 pages of their text to
themselves to be discussed when they have finished.
• Has students call out unfamiliar words as she writes
them on the board. Asks students to look up assigned
word in the glossary. She orally defines words not in the
glossary.
Teacher 2:
• Orally reviews step-by-step instructions projected on a
PowerPoint.
• Demonstrates instructions as he proceeds using a word
bank and solicits peer interaction.
