• Identify senses by which we learn• Plan and use proper techniques for

lecturing• Plan and use visuals to enhance

instruction• Incorporate the use of six teaching skills to

into your planning

Enabling Objectives (continued)

• Develop a written plan for using a variety of instructional strategies

• Reflect on your practices of using instructional strategies

Senses By Which We Learn

• Hearing 11%

• Sight 83%

• Taste (1%), Touch (1.5%), Smell (3.5%) = 6%

Pointers on Giving a Lecture

• Outline no more than 6 major points in a lesson

• Illustrate with sub-points in the lesson

• Plan for only 15 minutes lecture-Retention is greatest in the first 15 minutes

Lectures (pointers continued)

• Plan to use supporting materials-They increase retention

• Plan alternate activities every 15 minutes

Visuals to Enhance Lectures

• Three Most Used Visuals– Chalkboard or White board– Overhead and Transparencies– Handouts

• Internet

Chalkboard

• Key points only

• Use a heading

• Don’t fill board

• Face students

• Use color
