• To give students a break

• To show students how to solve problems

• To introduce new technology

Why is it important to provide multiple opportunities to respond?

• To make the lesson longer

• To reduce the teacher's workload

• To keep the lesson moving at a brisk pace

• To give students more homework

What type of feedback is most powerful in explicit instruction?

• Delayed feedback

• No feedback

• Specific feedback tied to performance

• General praise

What should non-examples do when used in explicit instruction?
