7E-Moments in Action!
- As a group read over the E-moment.
- Discuss the key directions for conducting the
E-Moment. - Capture the Key directions for the
E-Moment on Flip Chart Paper. - Develop an example lesson where the
E-moment can be used to support teaching and
learning. - Be prepared as a group to explain the
E-Moment and model it for the large group.
