Technique

I like the technique Post It. This technique involves writing a daily objective and posting it in the same place in the classroom every day. The objective should be left posted for the entire class period. This is important because students who are late to class know where to look for the day's objective(s) and can easily see where the class is based on the objective. Also, it allows visitors and administrators who come into the classroom to see what the class is doing and how on task the class is. Students can be asked to write down the daily objectives in their notebooks for reference back to while studying. This can be a good habit to get into because it can help trigger students' thoughts and memories from class while they are studying.
