You know by using the English Forward curriculum that reviewing is not built into the Lesson Flow or the English Forward lessons. This is to ensure that the curriculum is flexible—any lesson can be taught before or after any other. We wanted to take a moment, though, to stress the importance of reviewing and suggest a couple activities that can be done to review in the beginning of class.
A great, student-centered method of reviewing is to have students prepare mini-presentations for the beginning of class to review the lesson taught in the previous class. For example, a small group of students could be tasked with creating and presenting a Chalk Talk that represents the content taught in the previous class. You could even have students or groups sign up to review for each class so that they know when they’ll need to present.
How do you build review into your lessons, already? Let us know in the comments below!
