The table identifies six evidence-based approaches teachers can consider using in order to better engage students in the classroom:

1. Reflection and recording
2. Interactive discussion
3. Answering questions
4. K-W-L
5. CONTACT-2
6. Interpretation of topic-related pictures

Select two of the six approaches and investigate how the approach is used in the classroom. (KWL and Answering Questions)

Illustrate how each approach is intended to be used in the classroom by creating an example to demonstrate the methodology. What does each approach look like in practice?

Identify at least one limitation of each approach you selected. Why might employing these approaches be challenging for a teacher?
