Guided Practice

Students should use the learning advice provided in step three to help guide their progress.

Step three, individual research, would best be carried out in a reserved computer room allowing for one computer with internet access for each student.  This would allow for better observation of student progress. The pre-selected web resources will help guide the student in the right direction for inquiry.  This selection of web resources helps to eliminate inefficient web searching and irrelevant results.

ð    Group processing

ð    Social skills

ð    Face to face interaction.

 

Teacher will help students to remember these goals through the acronym SPIRAL:
