A micro-lesson on ‘Soil and its Functions’ for grade 4 in India

Dr. Lalit Kishore is a Jaipur-based Indian educator, researcher, and alternative education advocate renowned for his work in micro-learning,  Micro-learning (or bite-sized learning) is an instructional approach that delivers targeted, concise educational content in short, manageable bursts rather than long, dense lectures.

Three essential characteristics of micro learning strategy are: (1) Short Duration Lessons that are brief and fast lasting for 10-15 minutes; (2) Single learning objective in which each mini-module or nugget concentrates strictly on one specific concept, skill, or task to be presented in graphics such as web-chart or dual codes rather than broad; (3) Emphasis on vocabulary building and content mastery with fair notes making and word puzzles

Here is a micro-lesson ‘Soil and Its Function’ of grade four social studies as a web-chart graphic which was transacted with a student in 15 minute as guided learning by the teacher.
