He prefers revolution classes where all students participle, they want to speak and teacher say rule
number one: no talking this is a big mistake they need to feel part of class and not ignored.
Kagan engages all students and uses timed pair share.

ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT

Students like and love a dynamic class and teacher, the topic needs
to be present in interesting way because if not they spend the time talking but the topics that they
want and not pay attention in class.

when is time work in groups in 4 or less the materials are near of students,
they can work on the floor, stand up or their desk and they can stay together for 4-6 weeks and then
change again.
Types of Student Desk Arrangements and Seating Plans
There are several basic desk arrangements that I like to rotate between:
o Stadium Seating (or Angled Rows with Desks Touching)
o Modified U (or Horseshoe)
o Groups (or Teams)
o Combination (desks in various positions)
Modified U or Horseshoe Desk Arrangements
Pros: Allows you to fit many desks into a small space, students talk less during teacher-direct and
independent activities when they are further apart from their friends, make partner work simple
Cons: Spreads children out considerably so that it can be hard to address them all, makes group
work harder because the desks cant easily be moved around

Teacher decides how students are going to arrangement; it is about topic or plan.

They work better in cooperative than alone

Teacher is the guide and in each group could be a leadership where he/she says that all participle
doing or talking the activity.

I am not working at school, I am a guide in a Church and I

stabished a bell and is it better than knocked the witheboard. They stop to talk and pay attention.

It is about where they have some questions

a first read aloud and each student answer, sometimens they can say: he/she said the answer but
is not problem, the important is the participation and may be are the same words but if they reapt
also is another way to memorize or learning.
Each student needs attention with their classmates and teacher because if we listen we receive
attention also.

after or befor watch a video teacher explain about, say why the
video, give examples and students also will ask about whay they do not understand. Then they
work in cooperative and share ideas, what they understood or give examples.

They
prepare
projects where they can discuss about what they did, what they used or how is the function, read
aloud and talk.

First write, after share their oppinions,

discuss differences. When they finished they pass in order their summary, they can work with
similar abilities, after review and practice.

They can practice write and that they be sure that their
answer are corrects for this part not talk only listen the question and write.

They are going to work with all classmates answering the

questions and write in the piece of paper what their partner said, finally they come back to original
places and start to compere or discuss and check.

All
students
have abilities, for this is necessary know how work eachone and can foarm the groups for work in
cooperative learning, not that only one studento work for all the group. Teacher checks and guides.

Students need information what are differences between group work and cooperative learning, they
want pass the grade but sometimes they do not know what or how study is when they can use
cooperative learning and is easy for teacher control who is working.

What is going to use to present topic?

Adults and children learn better in the practice.
