Exercise
In the following lesson, watch from 4:30-5:10 of the following lesson.
If you listen closely, you can see how the educator demonstrates the importance of “why” – that being, it’s important to sometimes quickly review material that the student knows or should know. She makes the connection between CO2, pH, and the level of consciousness in a patient. It’s important to not simply assert knowledge, but to help build up the student’s knowledge by sometimes reviewing concepts!
As you think about the first lesson you’ll be creating, think about the idea of “why” and its importance to your lesson. Think about things that you know because you’re smart! You’re intelligent and experienced – use that advantage to empower students through a (sometimes necessary) quick review.
