By now you’ve met the big three scaffolding strategies, nodded along thoughtfully, and possibly muttered, “Yes, yes, I should be doing more of that.”
Lesson 3 is where we take all that good theory and actually use it.
In this video, you’ll watch a short, practical example of how chunking, multimodal support, and vocabulary scaffolds come together in a real lesson sequence. No magic, no gimmicks — just sensible, well-timed support that helps learners make sense of content without watering it down.
Think of this lesson as a little teaching lab. You’ll see how:
- A tricky topic becomes far more approachable when it’s broken into stages
- Visuals and models reduce the mental load (for learners and for you)
- A few well-chosen vocabulary items give students something solid to hold onto
- The whole thing gradually shifts from “teacher guiding” to “students doing”
As you watch, imagine your own learners sitting in those seats.
Where would they breathe a sigh of relief?
Where would they still wobble?
And where might you tweak the sequence to suit your context?
Hit play and let’s zoom in on scaffolding as it actually happens — the practical, do-able kind that you can steal and use tomorrow.
