 * MICROTEACHING #1**

//Comments from Mark:// It was clear that some things are needed for effective instruction to occur:
 * 1) You need a __purpose__ (objectives)
 * 2) You need a __clear agenda__ (lesson plan)
 * 3) You need __good things to do__ (strategies)
 * 4) You need __an effective learning environment__ (management)
 * 5) You need __awareness of your class__ (knowing students)
 * 6) You need __deep content knowledge__ (social studies curriculum)

These are going to be the six interrelated aspects of social studies instruction we will study in 407 & 408, using the heuristics of PEDAGOGICAL, PERSONAL , and PROFESSIONAL knowledge.
