Suggestion 145. Open with gusto and finish strong

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF YOU WANT TO:


Have an interesting style of presentation

Capture students' interest


YOU MAY WISH TO CONSIDER:
"Opening with gusto" and "Finishing strong."

Professor Otis Lancaster of the University of Pennsylvania points out the advantages of giving special thought to the beginning and ending of each lecture.

"The opening should secure the students' attention and give them the desired `mental set'. Get off to a good start. Do something to command attention from the outset. Put some punch into your opening."

"Have some form of attention getter...some gadget or piece of hardware whose operation depends upon the principles of the day's lesson usually excites attention. Carefully planned questions or statements can also develop the curiosity necessary to gain attention. Action is always an attention-getter. If you intend to use charts or models for demonstration materials, have these brought in front of the class after the class is assembled or keep charts covered until class starts. This will usually whet their curiosity and make them more eager to see what is going to happen.

"The ending is as important as the beginning. Avoid letting a class session fade into nonexistence. Make an impressive ending. For example, end with: a question or problem - leave it for the class to cogitate and answer before next meeting; a quotation which conveys the essential theme; a summary--a recapitulation--a miniature review (keep it brief); or what to do before the next class." (Lancaster, Otis E., Effective Teaching and Learning, N.Y.: Gordon and Breach, 1974, pp 122-24.)
