1. Flipped Instruction Description

Theoretical Link
Socio-Cultural Theory: students learning through collaborative discussion fits firmly into the sociocultural theory of education.
Example

1. 
   Invite students from a grade level above to come into the classroom and act as moderators of discussions on topics of interest.
   
2. 
   Pair stronger students with weaker students. Have the stronger students demonstrate their knowledge by supporting the weaker students. I find this works really well because children can often explain things in a clear language that other children can understand.
   

23. Poster Presentations
Definition
A poster presentation is a great way to demonstrate knowledge at the end of a lesson or unit of work. Provide the students with posters, pens, and printing materials if required.
Benefits

• 
  A fast, effective way of presenting knowledge to the class.
  
• 
  Allows students to practice demonstration skills.
  
• 
  Ends up with a physical product that can be photographed and added to the student’s portfolio to prove that outcomes have been met.
  

Challenges

• 
  Can be a lazy way to achieve presentation of knowledge. Ensure the focus remains on the content and not the coloring-in or drawing pretty pictures.
  
• 
  Not useful for all lessons: when students can create a working model, diagram, etc. this would be preferred.
  

Example

1. 
   Have students work in groups to write up their knowledge in a visually engaging way.
   
2. 
   Then, have each group verbally present their poster to the class.
   

24. Two-Minute Presentation
Definition
Two Minute verbal presentations, like posters, are an effective way of having students demonstrate their knowledge at the end of a lesson or unit of work. Each student gets two minutes to present their knowledge on a topic to the rest of the class.
