HELP WITH DEFINITION!
|

Hi! can anybody help me explaining what "lockstep" is, using the word as a kind of interaction? I saw the word used in an example of a lesson plan that was sent to me, but I don �t quite get what the word is.
Thanx!!!

Thank you Sara & goodnesses!!! hahaha, I �m afraid I am a little, or I might say quite a lot slow!!!! I read those definitions, and had previously looked them up in different dictionaries. I just don �t quite get HOW to use the word in the context of a lesson plan. For example, what was sent to me said: activity blablabla... can be used as pair work, individually, group work or lockstep. I don �t understand what is meant by lockstep...
sorry if I �m too slow understanding!!!!!!!! |

Hi Mar
If a class is working �in lockstep�, all the students are doing the same thing at the same time.

Hi, Serene! Thank you for your response. But the example you give me, .... isn �t that activity being done as a "group" (all the class)? |
