In this audience engaging presentation, I will first discuss some introductory information about TBL and how to effectively use it in the classroom. Then, I will briefly describe the time management that I use in my classroom. Finally, I will engage the audience in an example of the group quiz structure by dividing them up and having them actually take a quiz; and they will participate in an example thought-provoking application problem and homework problem (if time permits). The topic for these activities will most be based upon QG theory and its application to the formation of midlatitude cyclones.
*NOTE: I read the note on the timing of this session, but I am not completely sure that I follow! The group quiz will take approximately 5 minutes, the application problem approximately 3 minutes and the homework problem approximately 5 minutes, so I think I can make a 13 minute demonstration work. (I am not sure if it’s a one-and-done thing, or a round-robin type format.) This brief demonstration is a consolidation of basically an entire short course, so there is a lot of material that will be excluded at the expense of the time constraint. I will need to show imagery using some sort of display. Depending upon the size of the audience (whole vs. broken down into smaller outbreak groups), I can use my laptop, but it would be more ideal to have a projector (to hook up to my laptop), and an accompanying screen if there will be more than one or two small groups participating at a given time. I would also need access to an electrical outlet. I would have the participants sit at a table or a series of movable desks.
