Contrast Lesson

Activity 11
Contrast lesson can be a great stimulator to intrigue a class.   This tool can be used with technology such as a PowerPoint presentation, or pictures displayed on a board or even a sound recording.  I hope to  incorporate this into my lesson in the upcoming school year.  I once saw a teacher at my school use the contrast lesson approach.  The teacher showed an office procedure class two pictures of persons serving customers.  One person had a nice smile and he looked very hospitable.  The other person had frown on his face and negative body language.  The teacher asked the students to express what they felt when they saw each picture and describe what was happening in each picture.  The students were intrigue and they were very expressive of what they thought the pictures represented.  The teacher used this concept as an introduction to her customer service lesson.   I noticed that the students were very interested in the lesson and they were open to sharing their opinions.
