IGCSE Biology 0610 ppt notes

You know the frustration and the agony of preparing your own notes for the next class?
The chances that they wont even be looking at it right after they finished their final exam. 
Oh~~~
In my years of teaching, I have created my own content that I found to be extremely successful in my class. 
For a sample of notes that I prepared for my class, you may click this link.


So if you're planning to use my slides for your class, there are few things you have to understand, before you can use it. 

Not just using it, but to use it successfully. 

Ive had amazing results with my students with this technique. I received better engagement and final results with this technique. 

For starters, my slides employ active learning, where the students are continuously prompted with questions that require them to apply core knowledge to everyday's life. With this method, I even get the shyest student to tip-toeing on their feet, raising their hands so that they get the chance to answer. 

I would often call up students to fill up the questions, and have the students calling up their friends (using name list) to keep the class rolling. This way, you have less "sleepy students".

I also find that, giving questions without explaining how the "right answer" is obtained hampers the lesson. In my presentations, you will often find "blanks" or "fill in the table". These are the things that I usually will give out to students as homework.
Its not much exercise,yes, but, I sincerely believe in "quality>>quantity".

So now, you might be asking, whats the catch? Do I have to pay for anything? 
Im happy to announce that such things are not necessary, but I would be appreciative if you could add me to your Google+ accounts. 
By adding me,  I will be able to entertain questions and requests from you.
Before I go, the preview notes is in pdf format. 
ppt format will be made available once you add me to your circles.



Happy teaching everyone~
