Three Alternative Formats Feedback Lecture two mini lectures separated by a small-group study session. Questions may or may not be submitted in advance. Pair Share A problem is posed.
Students think about it alone for five minutes or less, then pair up to discuss their views.
The pairs share their conclusions with the rest of the class. Minute Paper Pause after 15 minutes of class and ask students to take a minute to write a two-sentence summary of what he or she has learned so far. Depending on how much time you want to devote to this, the students could pair up and help each other better understand the material for a few minutes or a few could report to the class. Jigsaw Choose learning material that can be divided into parts, like an experiment, a list, or several articles on a similar topic. Divide students into groups equaling the number of parts.
