Step 5: Provide Learning Guidelines

1. ■Offers student instructions on how to learn, such as in guided activities
   

2. ■Rate of learning increases because students are less likely to waste time or become frustrated by not understanding material
   

3. ■Include detailed information such as rubrics in projects
   

4. ■Provide expectations, instructions, and timelines

Example:
For a unit on Australia, I came up with a rubric to grade students’ participation.  At the start of the unit, each student was given a copy of this rubric to refer to make sure they were participating appropriately.
