ABSTRACT
Many teachers have bought into this instructional strategy because it is no longer about the teacher standing in front of the classroom lecturing to students. At its most basic, modeling is a technique where teachers introduce a concept and students display their learning on whiteboards, typically working in pairs or in small groups. Students then share their learning to rest of the class for discussion. To create the whiteboards, students will need to have whiteboard markers, erasers, paper towels and cleaning spray. The easiest and cheapest route is to go to local lumber yard and buy a shower board. Students should have a clear idea of what is being asked, but not necessarily how to display this information; in fact, creative displays should be encouraged. Board meetings are an integral part of the modeling process. It is during the board meeting where students not only discuss their own board that they have created, but they discuss their classmate’s boards.
