Explicit Instructions Rehearsal

Listed below is a classroom scenario:

You are transitioning from your Introduction of New Material to your 10 minute Guided Practice where students need to move to their small groups to be able to answer question 3 using text evidence from pages 2-5.

Directions:

Upload a PDF copy of your handout script of your explicit logistical and academic instructions including all four steps. Then record a video in YouTube of you giving the logistical instructions and then the academic instructions. You should have two videos in total. 

You can use the feedback cheat sheet to guide you. 

Review from your prework: 

Logistical directions are those directions are directions that get students set up physically for learning. Examples are where to sit, whom to talk to, etc.

Academic directions are directions that address the specific academic assignment. Examples include answer this question, talk about this topic, etc.

Example: 

1. Logistical: “When I say go, you will have 20 seconds to move to your group table at a volume level 1. Go.”
2. Academic: “When I say go, your group will have 5 minutes to work together at a volume level 2 to read the procedure and begin observation. The note taker will record all observations. Go.”
