Overview:
Students
recall information related to the topic of study in order to encourage
incorporation of new information into prior knowledge.
The process also provides a common base of knowledge for all
students.
Steps:
1.
Teacher provides a cue concept related to the new topic of study.
2.
Students respond in writing first then orally, listing everything
that comes to their minds regarding the cue.
3.
Teacher transfers ideas to blackboard or overhead.
4.
Teacher directs discussion using student responses.
Recommendation:
Best results occur when students are asked to write out responses
to cues first and then share orally.
This also enables the teacher
to assess both prior knowledge and misinformation held by each
student. When asking for
list, teacher should encourage a response from EACH student.
Student may give new item to add or mention “best” item from
his/her list.
