Cumulative Review

The most powerful form of review is cumulative review. The teacher not only reviews content from the current unit but helps students relate it to learning or content from previous units. For example, the teacher might have students review the process of evaporation from a unit on the water cycle, and then identify how the same process is present in the current lesson on the regulation of body temperature by warm-blooded animals. Cumulative review also involves students identifying misconceptions they held previously and creating new generalizations.
