In this unit, two video lessons are given as examples of poor instruction and good instruction techniques. The differences between the first and the second video are astonishing. The first video the teacher is very stern, grimacing the entire time and inpatient with students when they didn't understand or were not answering. The teacher did not slow his speaking down for comprehension, or properly explain terms he wanted to teach students. He hadn't given them a structure to make sense of his instruction. As a result, students were very hesitant to participate and intimidated by the teacher. In the second lesson, the same teacher gave a lesson over the same content but in a much more effective manner. His body language and facial expressions were welcoming and kind, and he encouraged all students to participate by having them first work in pairs, then answer individually. In the second lesson, the teacher spoke slowly and modeled everything for students first so they could understand how they were to write and speak. The engage phase was very fun and interactive, and the activate phase allowed the students to apply what they had learned and produce ideas of their own. These activities empowered students and encouraged them to try, even if they made some mistakes.
