Assignment – FP014 LS

Assignment instructions:

Under point 3.3.7 Issues in Strategy Instruction (in your written material) the
following questions are considered as crucial before implementing strategy training with
students:

 Should the strategy instruction be short-term or long term? How long should it
last? A class? A term? A year? At regular intervals? Etc.
 Should the treatment of strategies be implicit (or “blind”) or should it be explicit
(“informed” or “strategy-plus-control”)? Or should it be a combination of both
approaches?
 Should the teacher try to cover a comprehensive list of different strategies, or
should the focus be on a limited number of strategies?

Bearing this in mind, design one strategy training lesson (1 or 2 hours long) aimed at a
group of students of your choice. Make sure to first contextualize the target group and
the type of strategies you want to work with.

Important: You must write your personal details and the subject name on the
cover (on the next page). Assignments that do not fulfil these conditions will not
be corrected. You have to include the assignment index below the cover.
