students’ lesson plans. This was done
formally and informally in sequential
steps throughout the semester. The
formal review, completed near the end
of the semester, provided students with

lesson plan. It also gave them the
opportunity to view other students’ work
and to learn from them.
10. Use the adage of “let them teach
themselves.” Students reported that
discussions were valuable, and they
expressed that they were able to learn
from one another. Students indicated
that they “learned by doing” and were
able to make sense of the textbook
material by actually performing the
tasks.
