2. Scaffold Re-Seeing
Help students to see things in a new way!
◾Identify re-seeing opportunities. We see the world through the lens of physics, but students won’t make those connections if we don’t help them.
◾Use experientially-anchored instruction. Have students identify and share experiences related to the content. In one case, he then compiled case studies for the students to investigate, from those shared experiences. Music, sunlight, sunsets, these are all good common experiences that can serve as the starting-point for instruction.
◾Real-world updates. Continually use real-world updates in your class, connecting the material to the real world, or to breaking news.
