Content Area:

ANY

Grade Level:

Middle School / High School

Materials:

  1. Document camera, visualiser or digital presenter
  2. Projector
  3. Paper with subtopic headings listed and space to write notes in each section

1. Decide which subtopic within a given topic to assign for review, i.e. causes, effects, characteristics, and possible preventions for erosion.

2. Prepare a template paper divided into sections with subheadings listed.

DURING

3. Assign small groups of students to each subtopic of the topic to be reviewed.

4. Direct students to consult their notes, textbooks, and other resources make concise notes for the subtopic assigned to them.

5. Collect each groups notes, and assemble them together under the Visualiser, digital presenter, document camera.

6. Project the image of the completed notes, discuss as a class, and direct all students to copy completed notes.

AFTER

7. In addition to preparing written notes for the subtopic assigned to them, have students become subject matter experts by presenting the topic to the class.
