Tip 7 – Do not give long instructions orally
Posted by Nergiz Kern on July 15, 2008
Do not give longer or complicated instructions only orally, especially not in lower level classes. Instead write the instructions on a notecard and display them using a notecard displaying tool. Advantages:
- Students can follow what you are saying by reading the notecard
- Students who cannot hear you can still read the instructions
- Less explaining needed thus less Teacher Talking Time
- Fewer questions will arise and thus there will be more time left for the actual activity.
