Blog: What is a review?
When I started as a teacher, my mentor teacher told me that there were five parts to the science lesson cycle: lecture, lab, practice, review, and exam. When I asked how to review, my mentor just kinda waved their hands in the air and said, “ya know… you review…. You do a review.”
*Begin blank staring*
Funny enough, as a teacher, I don’t remember EVER being taught what a review was, let alone how to review. So, let’s set the record straight. Check out my blog on reviews today.
