Dr. Treyes suggests that as teachers, we take the Blue Ocean Strategy into consideration when
planning lessons. In this approach, we skip defining terms at the start of the lesson because
doing so takes time away from other topics. As they talk about the lesson's concept, let the kids
develop the definition. Avert beginning the lesson with unnecessary information as well. To
prevent confusion among the students, the lesson must only cover crucial facts and ideas.
A lengthy introduction defeats the goal of grabbing students' attention, which might encourage
them to pay attention and develop the concept. Reduce the amount of information being
remembered from the previous lesson and only provide a few items or questions. Reduce the
use of technical terms that do not aid in the concept's development.
Start the lesson with the big idea, according to the deductive method, we can understand more
fully. Then, break down the detail into smaller details.
It's important to provide activities to test children's conceptual understanding to determine
whether they have grasped the concept. and if it turns out that there are kids who still don't get
the idea, repeat the conversation for them. We will use the time we saved on this.

Once the idea has been grasped, allow the students to construct fundamental concepts by
defining a few terms that we did not define at the start of the lesson. The teacher should direct
the developed concept toward the lesson's concept after letting the students construct and explain
it in accordance with their understanding.

Give the students the chance to experience the concept in real life, which will help them develop
the lesson's concept correctly.
It is necessary to introduce a new and effective teaching method, which Dr. Treyes claims has
been tested in his classroom and is effective in learning and developing the lesson concept. This
is the storyline approach.

Storyline approach developed by Steve Bell, Sallie Harkness and Fred Rendell at Jordanhill
College of Education in Glasgow, Scotland.
With this method, you will teach the lesson as if you were telling a story. You will introduce the
characters, describe the setting, and reveal the main idea of the lesson at the climax of the
story.
