| | | | | | | | | | |
in order to promote transfer of knowledge, but that a larger number of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
topics covered quickly will hinder student transfer because students
| | | | | | | | |
have too little time to connect and organize the information.
| | | | | | | | | |
, Introducing organizational structure early makes student learning
| | | | | | |
difficult in that they first need specific information about the topic

before thy organizational structure can make sense and be
| | | | | | | | |
remembered.

ANSWER✔✔-By telling students what they will be covering that day. | | | | | | | | |

attention. A teacher should remind students to pay attention if she
| | | | | | | | | | |
notices that their attention is wandering, but she need not start every
| | | | | | | | | | | |
class with this reminder. Reviewing skills is helpful on occasion, but not
| | | | | | | | | | | |
in every class.
| |
Consider the following question asked by a first grade teacher: 'What do
