Can guided practice be asking questions and waiting for answers?

Question

I am having a hard time understanding guided practice. I am in a credentialing program and I want to teach about a famous american. Can I use asking questions as a way of guided practice?

Answer 1

You could also discuss the qualities of a "famous" person - by the way, depending on your grade level, you need to be ready for answers like; Paris Hilton, Hannah Montana, etc. or at the upper levels of high school, Jenna Jameson.  So, once you qualify what you mean by a "famous" person, brainstorm/share/discuss the traits/qualities of one (guided part), then have them see if a famous person they can think of fits those traits (independent).

Good luck!

Answer 2

guided practice is more doing problems or question together.  Ex. For math, I would put a problem on the board and work through the problem with them.  Asking questions and waiting for answers would be more of an independent practice.  Make a list of ideas about famous americans together or brainstorm ideas.
