students

• Frame: Preview activity to introduce media

• Focus: Instruction using media

• Follow-up: Post-viewing activity for extension

• Follow-up and Evaluation

Ensure students know what you expect them to learn from the media and for what they are responsible:• Prepare them to learn by using an activity to connect to prior knowledge• Introduce a graphic organizer to help them record and analyze information they see in the media

FrameFrame

FocusFocus• Do not turn off all the lights if possible. • Watch with your students. (model the

desired behavior)• Use the power of your media player to use

the media interactively and point out important content

• Use “Thumbs up” technique, graphic organizers, etc. for interactive experience

Follow-upFollow-up• Follow-up the media experience• Summarize the content• Generate discussion• Make students accountable for the media content• Extend the learning and involve other modalities through kinesthetic and immersion activities
