16. MODIFIED LECTURE (Discussion)
Description: Students communicate through visual cues as a way to be actively involved in a lecture.
Application: This lecture protocol can be used to introduce or review facts, events, concepts, generalizations, arguments, and points-of-view.
Process: Give students two (green and red) or three (green, red, and yellow) cards. Tell students to keep one of the three cards visible to the teacher at all times. Instruct each student to display the green card if he understands what the teacher is saying, display the yellow card if he is not sure of the information, or display the red card if he disagrees or objects to what is being said. When the majority of cards are green, continue the lecture. If more cards are yellow, explain and elaborate, citing more examples or more evidence. Upon seeing red, acknowledge why some may not be in agreement, or perhaps generously offer examples of objections.
