Signal the beginning: Begin the passage presentation with a clear instruction that lets the students know it is time to listen. Be careful not to overshadow or distract from the presentation. Make sure the students have a clear, uncluttered view of the teacher or speaker.

 

Format: Ask questions immediately following the lesson summary according to the passage sequence. For students who have trouble answering questions, ask them questions you know they can answer. Try to allow each student to answer a question. In a large class you may want to allow some group answers for the sake of time and attention spans.
