2. Look for occasions when students can work out part (or all) of the content or instructions.
Learning is almost always better if students work something out for themselves, rather than reading it or hearing it. This is not always feasible of course, but often it is. It can involve short, closed tasks: e.g., 'if the units of density are gcm-3, work out the formula by which we calculate the density of a substance from the volume and mass of an object made of that substance'. It can also involve much longer open-ended tasks: e.g., 'Here is a photo of the ruins of Machu Pichu; work out as much as you can, from this photo, about the Incas and their fate'.
EXAMPLE: JUMP TO Work Out What You Need to Find Out
