- 7. Direct Instruction When determining your methods of Direct Instruction, consider the following questions: How can I best tap into the various learning modalities (audio, visual, tactile, kinesthetic, etc.) to meet the learning style preferences of as many students as possible? What materials (books, videos, pneumonic devices, visual aids, props, etc.) are available to me for this lesson? What relevant vocabulary do I need to present to my students during the lesson? What will my students need to learn in order to complete the lesson plan's objectives and independent practice activities? How can I engage my students in the lesson and encourage discussion and participation?
