Periods of focused studt

Periods of focused study means times when teacher do lots of direct teaching about a subject. subjects sre part of writing can be notebooks. Pitfalls of this might be, students not paying attention as teacher was teaching entire class. I would involve everyone, possibly by doing what we did in class today so I coud focus on a particular subject and hte student's could have more hands-on brains-on participation

I would use periods of focued study in basically all of the subjects in the classroom. Not necessarily every day, but when it becomes important for students to take some time to learn directly. Sometimes it is necessary for students to learn directly so as to get better instruction and perhaps feel free to ask more questions. --Megan.


This is a very important aspect of teaching and I feel that it is necessary in every classroom at least to some degree. However, if this technique is used too much it may become monotonous for the children. There are ways of incorporating this technique with hands on fun activities and that would be the appropriate way of handling focused study in my opinion. I understand that it may not be possible to always make every lesson fun but whenever possible even focused study should catch childrens attention. --Kayla
