• Get the student’s name and as much
as possible one fact about them (ex.
hobby).

the aim of the lesson and what they
are expected to achieve by the end of
the lesson.

12. • Vary presentation techniques to cater
the students’ learning styles.
• Vary classroom management. Allow
them to work individually, by pair or by
group (mix abilities).

13. • At times provide a menu of work on
the group offering more than one
activity. Allow students to choose the
level of their works.
• Make use of higher order thinking
skills

with the tasks earlier.

dramatizations.
