Student Prep Strategy: The plans to prepare students outside of class
I would like to suggest the following plans to peruse students in charge of their learning outside
class:
I would like to assign to read a chapter thoroughly of the Text Book.
They have to look at the title, and then write down what it tells about the text’s topic
and focus.
They will do research on the author and write down what they find out.
Choose five key words and do some research on them.
Write down what they learn about structure of the text. Put all or most of summary in
their own words.
Student will make conclusion in order to their point of view.
In the end, they will write five questions to discuss in the classroom.
In this way, I would able to achieve the goal of the SPS is to get students to come to
class adequately prepared to get the most out of their lesson. Therefore, they are not
in- class activities but rather things the students do on their own time. They will feel
more confidence and enthusiasm to ask questions and make feedback.
Complete BOPPPS Sample Lesson
COURSE: SPCH 1311 Introduction to Communication
Lesson Title: Do You See What I See? Perception
Bridge: A series of 4 optical illusion slides will be displayed on screen for 1 second each. Students are asked to write down what they see. Slides will be shown
a second time for 7 seconds- students again asked to write what they see.
Class asked: Raise your hand if you saw at least 2 things in every image? Now raise your hand if you saw something the second time that you did not see the
first time?
BLOOM QUESTION (ANALYSIS): What do you think the “moral” of these slides might be?
Quickly go back over the slides to show students the two images in each one.
End with: Today we will be exploring some of the reasons why what we see can be a distortion (show the slide with the learning objectives stated)
5 minutes
Course Student Learning Outcome:
1 - Understand and apply the principles of human communication including: perception, verbal communication, nonverbal communication, listening,
and audience analysis.
Learning Objectives: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to
1. Explain 3 ways perception can become distorted. (COMPREHENSION)
2. Use a three step perception checking technique. (APPLICATION)
Pre-Assessment:
The student preparation assignment I chose is Peer Carding. We will take a few minutes to review random question cards students have submitted about the
reading material.

“HOW TO GET A REAL
EDUCATION”
SCOTT ADAMS 1957 –
Chapter 2
1
Objectives
• By the end of this class , students will be able
to:
• Explain and understand the main goals of
Education.
• Students will recognize and evaluate the
seven valuable tools of learning that introduce
the meaningful education.
2
• Scott Adams is the creator of Dilbert,
the long-running comic strip about
office mediocrity.
3
He is also the author of more than eighty comic books
featuring the antics of Dilbert and his coworkers,
• including, most recently, I’m
TEMPTED TO Stop Acting Randomly:
Dilbert (2010).
4
• In the following essay , Adams outlines the
ideal education for entrepreneurs.
Amazon.com: Dilbert-Comic strip: Books
5
• Adams says that he understands why
the top students in America study
Physics , Chemistry, Calculus and
Classic Literature.
6
• He says that kids in this brainy group
are the future professors, scientists,
thinkers and engineers who would
move civilization forward.
7
• There was a small business on our
campus called The Coffee House.
• It served beer and snacks and
featured live entertainment.
8
• Seven students are running this
coffee house, however all are unable
to explain where all the money goes.
9
• One day the managers of The Coffee
House has a meeting to discuss two
topics.
• First , our Minister of Employment is
recommending that we fire a
bartender , happened to be one of
his best friends.
10
• Second, we need to choose a leader
for our group.
• There is a general consensus that my
friend lacks both the will and the
potential to master the bartending
arts.
11
• For new leader, he point out that his
friend - the soon- to-be-fired
bartender – is tall, good – looking
and so gifted that he would be the
perfect leader.
12
• That is the year he has learned
everything about management.

Seven Tools of Learning
14
1-Combine skills
• The first thing you should learn in a
course on entrepreneurship is how
to make yourself valuable.
15
• It is unlikely that any average
student can develop a world –
class skill in one particular area.
16
2- FAIL FORWARD
• The trick is to get paid while you
are doing the failing and to use
the experience to gain skills that
will be useful later.
17
• Students should be taught that
failure is a process , not an
obstacle.
18
3 - FIND THE ACTION
• I n his senior year of college he
asked his advisor how he should
peruse his goal of being a banker.
19
• He told to figure out where the most
innovation in banking was happening
and to move there.
20
• And so he did. Banking did not work
out for him , but the advice still
holds: Move to where the action is .
Distance is your enemy.
21
4 - ATTRACT LUCK
• You can not manage luck directly, but you
can manage your career in a way that
makes it easier for luck to find you.
• To succeed , first you must do something.
22
5 - CONQUER FEAR
• Adam took classes in public speaking in
college and a few more during his
corporate days.
• That training was marginally useful for
learning how to mask nervousness in
public.
23
• Then, he took the Dale Carnegie
course.
• It was life- changing.
24
• It ignores speaking
technique entirely
and trains you instead
to enjoy the experience
of speaking to a crowd
DaleCarnegie.com
25
• The point is that people can be
trained to replace fear and shyness
with enthusiasm.
26
6 - WRITE SIMPLY
• Simplicity makes ideas powerful.
27
• He took a two day class in business
writing that taught him how to write
direct sentences and to avoid extra
words.
www.skillpath.com
28
7 - LEARN PERSUASION
• Students of entrepreneurship should
learn the art of persuasion in all its forms
, including psychology , sales, marketing ,
negotiating , statistics and even design.
29
• Remember , children are our
future , and the majority of them
30
• After completion of the article “How
to get a real education” by Scott
Adam, teacher would able to apply
the following strategy in the class
room to understand the students
‘feed back and response.
31
• Use a 3 – step perception checking
technique , individually apply for
every student:
1. Reading & Discussion
2. Writing
3. Feed Back & Response
32
• First, students will read &discuss the
topic in group.
• Then individually every student will write
brief summary and conclusion in order to
his/her point of view.
• After writing, students will read their
summary and response .
33
Check it.
• I would able to check my students by asking
three questions
1. How does the writer define the main goals of
education?
2. Do you find the writer’s ideas convincing?
3. Are the writer’s educational experiences
similar to or different from yours ? How do
these similarities or differences affect your
response to the essay?
34
Today's plan
Course Title:1301
Topic: Education
After reading the above topic,students would able to write their answers of the following
four questions then they will read and discuss their feedback in the classroom.
Q 1 How does the writer define education? Is this definition consistent with yours?( Knowledge)
Q 2 What does the writer think, the main goals of education should be? Do you agree? Will you
interpret in your own words?( Comprehension)
Q 3 Does the writer use personal experience to support his points? Does he use facts and
statistics or expert opinion as support? Do you find the writers 'ideas convincing?( Evaluation)
Q 4 Are the writer's educational experiences similar to or different from yours? How do these
similarities or differences affect your response to the essay?( Analysis)
Assignment
Write an essay in which you develop a definition of good teaching, considering the relationship
of the teacher to the class, the standards teachers should use to evaluate students and what
students should gain from their educational experience. Refer to the ideas of Stephen G.
Emerson and Scott Adam. Borrow a phrase or a sentence from the text, put it in quotation
