Strategies for
Supporting Lecture
Lecture is a teaching tool found in almost every classroom. It allows teachers to deliver large amount of content in a short amount of time. Teachers use a variety of strategies to make student learning via lecture more effective:
Anticipation Guides
An anticipation guide is a strategy used before reading to activate students' prior knowledge and build curiosity about a new topic. Before reading a selection, students respond to several statements that challenge or support their preconceived ideas about key concepts in the text. Using this strategy stimulates students' interest in a topic and sets a purpose for reading. Anticipation guides can be revisited after reading to evaluate how well students understood the material and to correct any misconceptions.
Anticipation guides are loved by teachers because of their ability to engage all students in the exploration of new information by challenging them to critically think about what they know or think they know about a topic. In doing so, anticipation guides set a purpose to the reading, even for those students who initially may not be engaged by the topic.

Guided Notes
Guided Notes are teacher-prepared hand-outs that outline or map lectures, but leave "blank" space for key concepts, facts, definitions, etc. As the lecture progresses, the learner then fills in the spaces with content.
Guided notes help learners follow a lecture, identify its important points, distinguish between main and secondary points, examples and digressions, and develop a foundation of content to study and to apply. Some studies indicated that students with learning disabilities demonstrated 40-50% increase in test scores using guided notes (The University Record, April 23, 1996)
