Important Information

for the Teacher

What is an Instructional Module?

An instructional module is a series of teacher-created writing lessons in

PowerPoint format. The PowerPoint is designed to be an instructional tool

for classroom use. The slides are meant for student viewing and the

teacher directions are on the notes pages. There is also a document

folder containing papers to be used with some of the lessons and they are

referenced in the teacher notes. They are designated in slides using this file

folder icon

.

In the Document Folder you will find:

Important Information for the Teacher

Most slides have information that fades in one bullet or sentence at a time with a mouse click so as not to overload the students with too much information at one time. Give students time to complete an activity before clicking on the next bullet.

Important Information for the Teacher

Slides and notes pages 1-15 are for teacher use. The slides include alignment with the GLEs, links to the WASL, and purposes of the lessons. Thereafter, the slides are meant for the students. The teacher directions are in the notes. It is recommended that you download (save) the PowerPoint to your computer and then print the notes pages.

To use any lesson, you must print and review the notes pages. This is done in the print menu. It is different for PCs and Macs, but you will need to find "Notes Pages" or "Notes" respectively in the print menu. The notes pages contain crucial instructions and supplementary materials for successful implementation. Because of color coding throughout the PowerPoint, it is best to print the notes pages in color or grayscale.
