• 1. Experience– Activity that brings the student’s experience into the teaching
situation– Ex: worksheet
• 2. Practice– Activity where the student is provided an opportunity to demonstrate
their understanding of the new information– Ex: Assessment with LISA
• 3. Application– Opportunity to apply the information to a new situation– Ex: Research paper assignment
