-You only have to present the information once.
-Students are also able to make presentations too.
Limitations
-This strategy may be difficult for some students
-It may also be boring for some students
2.) Demonstration
Advantages
-Students are able to see the instructions and information before they
must do it.
-Teachers are able to take control of the safety.
Limitations
-This strategy is not hands on for students unless they are following
along with the teacher.
-Equal view, not all students will get the same view of the information
as the other students.
3.) Drill-and-Practice
Advantages
-Students are able to receive the correct feedback on their response.
-Will the students are practicing they are also learning the information.
Limitations
-This strategy could be repetitive.
-It may also potentially be boring for some students.

-This strategy is also self-paced, and students are able to work at their
own speed.

-It is also challenging, putting students minds to work.
Limitations
-Participation may be limited, and not all students will be able to
participate.

harder for students than others.
6.) Cooperative Learning
Advantages
-Groups may be formal or informal.
-Many learning opportunities can be developed with long-term groups.
Limitations

-You may not be able to make groups as small, depending on your
classroom size.

-This may also bring up additional problem issues, and give students
further information.
Limitations
-Always make sure that the information is appropriate for your grade
