These questions should come from the previous lesson\/s (as they&#8217;re for recap). The trick to the questions is to have them at three levels of difficulty (perhaps even mirroring our three levels of learning). I like to colour code the questions so students feel a challenge and a sense of achievement after they can answer each one and progress to the next &#8220;level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For example, when recapping lesson 1.2 (a) &#8220;Variables and Relationships&#8221; in my introductory unit I might have these questions projected on the board:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#008000\"><strong>What are independent and dependent variables?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color:#ff9900\">Why are they important in psychological experiments?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h3><span style=\"color:#ff0000\"><strong>Could you conduct a study that didn\u2019t have IVs and DVs?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I usually give about 5 &#8211; 7 minutes for students to discuss the questions.<\/p>\n<p>What I like about this basic consolidation activity is that\u00a0<em><strong>all\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>students have a chance to think about these questions and discuss them. In my early teaching days I would have stood at the front and hosted an arms raised-athon as I asked these questions and had individual students answer. But after years of using that paradigm I realized that I was only checking the understanding of one student, and that student also could formulate an answer faster than other students could even comprehend the question, so it wasn&#8217;t even effective recap for the kids who didn&#8217;t answer. It was also based on the assumption that all students think at the same speed; by allowing them their own time and having a partner to discuss ideas with it increases the impact for <em>all\u00a0<\/em>students.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>A few notes:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>If you struggle with disengaged students, you could say something like &#8220;after 6 minutes I&#8217;m going to randomly draw three names from the hat to offer their answers.&#8221; This gives some extrinsic motivation to get into it.<\/li>\n<li>If a pair answers all three in record time they could tell you their answers and then use them as helpers to rove around and help others.<\/li>\n<li>I have students recap without checking their notes, books or workbooks first. It&#8217;s only after they&#8217;re stuck that they can look through these materials.<\/li>\n<li>I encourage students to ask questions of me during this time. So while I&#8217;m usually relaxing at my desk with my feet (literally) up, they know they can ask me to clarify things if they need it.<\/li>\n<li>Like all consolidation activities, I also like to finish with an open Q&amp;A based on these questions and anything else we&#8217;ve learned recently (or any question they want to ask, basically).<\/li>\n<li>If you wanted to triangulate your data, you could have students write their answers to these questions to submit, but this just means more marking and I am not keen on that idea!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As always, contributions in the comments are always appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you like the CHACER lesson structure, or even if you&#8217;re just after a new recapping idea for the start of lessons, I like this activity because like all of my favourites: it takes minimal preparation has maximum student engagement it&#8217;s differentiated and relevant and it gives me some basic data on student progress The basic premise is that in &#8230; <\/p>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.themantic-education.com\/ibpsych\/2017\/08\/10\/lesson-idea-consolidate-learning-with-three-levels-of-recap-questions\/\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":6505,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rs_blank_template":"","rs_page_bg_color":"","slide_template_v7":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5929","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lesson Idea: Consolidate learning with three levels of recap questions | The IB Psychology Blog<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Improve lesson recaps with this student-centered activity.
