Big Picture First...!


Can you do a puzzle with pieces up pictures without knowing the picture finally! I'm sure would be very difficult. The principle of this big picture also applies to student learning. Students should know in advance they were "learning what" so that any information entered will be associated with a picture of what they would get. As educators through this concept we can encourage children to:

* Examining the quick lesson material that will be the material of daily tests or exams, and explained that this matter with the previous material and that will come is a large single unit.
* Ask the child to not miss reading the chapter Overview of the chapter he had learned in advance. This explains why an Overview always placed at the beginning of the chapter.
