34. Questioning Strategies This section enables teachers to ask the right questions to probe for higher levels of thinking. Again, teachers may find the Bloom’s Taxonomy of Educational Objectives a valuable tool in questioning strategies. Guided Practice : This part of the lesson allows students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the lesson by working through an activity or exercise under the teacher’s supervision. This is the time for the teacher to move around the room and determine the level of mastery and to provide individual remediation, if necessary.

35. Closure : These are statements by a teacher that are designed to bring a lesson or presentation to an appropriate conclusion. Closure is the act of reviewing and clarifying the key points of a lesson. It is used to: 1. Cue students to the fact that they are at the end of the lesson. 2. Help organize student learning. 3. Help students form a clearer picture of what the lesson is all about. Independent Practice : This section is for reinforcement practice. This may include homework, group work, or individual work in class. It may also be used for projects or as a way for students to apply what they have learned.
