Expand your outline [July 11, 2012, 11:37 a.m.]


[stub] Add explanation material to your lesson outline. This can be direct explanations inside the lesson, like when the instructor explains elements during a podcast, additional context materials to help highlight and the relevant learning goal, like when picture choice lessons introduce new vocabularly using previously known vocabulary to identify the correct picture, or even tectual explanations written on a wiki page. Once you have some explanation for the key materials in your outline, see if you can add some repetition to give students an opportunity to practive the new material. In podcast lessons this can take the form of additional direct repetitions when a phrase is introduced, questions further along in a lesson asking you to recall information from earlier on, or simply repeating the exemplar material. In picture choice lessons or storybooks repetition can take the form of re-using old vocabulary with new pictures, re-combining old and new vocabulary terms, or simply making longer lessons and continuing to use the new terms throughout.
