  Case: Did the student get it?
A 9th grade teacher planned a great lesson. She was excited about teaching her favorite author and era, Shakespeare. However, the students had little to no exposure to the author and became a bit overwhelmed with the teacher's approach. Parents called the school administrator and complained that the teacher was not preparing the students for real-world reading and writing. What happens when the teacher prepares a great lesson and feels the wrong kids showed up?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
A lot of times you have to prepare your students for a great lesson with background information and mini lessons that will help them to develop an understanding of the information that is to be presented to them. Another technique for a great lesson would be to stop every 5-6 minutes and ask students a variety of questions to keep them engaged and on track. This method is called the New American Lecture method.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would exactly do this. Providing background info and mini lessons ahead of time about Shakespeare will help set up this subject matter better. Stopping along the way to ask questions, instead of just reading the entire story before asking questions is a great way to keep the students involved in the story.

Comments: If I were in this situation, I would do exactly this. Being a student who learned about Shakespeare and his writings in high school with a teacher that took the approach listed above, I know that this is the type of approach that I would want to take as a future educator. It made learning Shakespeare that much better.
