Direct Instruction
We have been using anticipation guides this term to help us with our inquiry learning. Students are given the guide at the beginning of the topic, and they write if they think each statement is true or false based on only their prior knowledge. After the teaching has occurred, the paper is given back to them and they revise their answers and have to justify their true/false decision with information they have learnt. Most of the time their initial ideas were incorrect so they can reflect on why they thought what they did and how much they have learnt.
This anticipation guide was given in week 5, then reviewed in week 9.
