Anticipated Problems
|
Solution: T can compromise the Historical
Buildings activity and allow Ss to share their answers in class the next day,
as long as at least one building in talked about during the activity. Also,
time can be controlled during warm-up by not letting Ss talk too much.
Overall, it is more important to make it to the museum on time!
Solution: T will enforce that Ss
are not allowed to stop anywhere before they arrive at the museum. T will
walk at a reasonable pace so that Ss are not tired.
Solution: Ss will be able to ask
instructors questions about the lecture to clarify and make sure they are
understanding/following everything correctly.
