For biology, my preferred method of dissemination is a PowerPoint presentation that coincides with a fill-in-the-blank packet to be completed by students. This packet is graded for accuracy of completeness, incentivizing students to remain engaged with the lecture while learning the content. Following lecture, students will have this information reinforced with a work packet that will have questions and content for a quiz/test on the subjects covered in lecture so that students are fully prepared and have a chance to understand what will be expected of them. Following completion of the work packet, the next session would be the quiz/test to test for retention and student understanding. Once the test is completed, students are rewarded with an informational but fun video to watch before the next unit begins. I like to break up this format per day for high school and above students and would slow down accordingly for younger learners. So, if I began a unit on Monday, it would be lecture/notes on Monday and Tuesday, work packet and review on Wednesday and Thursday, quiz/test on Friday with the video reward as a wind-down for the week. This format was introduced to me by my high school AP Biology teacher and I have found it to be extremely effective in covering information and ensuring information retention. The note and work packets are perfect for review in preparation for comprehensive exams as well. In addition, if during student assessment, the classroom average is inadequate, the unit can be addressed and reviewed before it can become a classroom weakness for a comprehensive exam. For example, in my AP biology class, if the classroom average was below 75%, we would review the information with additional lecture and work packets prior to being re-tested to confirm progress. The most important aspect of the classroom for me is growth and comprehension, so my lesson plan is structured to focus around that. I have experienced great academic success with this model and look forward to sharing it with as many students as I can to promote learning and high performance!
