I am having a difficult time reducing the amount of teacher talk in my lessons. The students have difficulty with reading comprehension so I feel as if I need to explain everything to them. A few of them can work well with a partner but many have limited social skills which make collaborating with a peer challenging. I would love some suggestions as to how I can incorporate more independent and cooperative learning in my lessons so that I do not hate the sound of my own voice at the end of the day. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am having the same problem. One thing that I have done in my lessons was have a YouTube video ready for the content. I will stop the video and ask questions. I will generate mini-discussions though out the video. I will teach the content and relate it back to the video. Also, relating the video to real world situations will engage them.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: this is not useful Rated On: February 23, 2018 9:29 pm Rated By: eBejaP
