Inductive Modern Rule-discovery Bottom up
The teacher gives the students the structure in context and then the students try to form their own explanation of the rule. It is ELICITED from the students. This is a type of guided discovery.

Who built the pyramids? Who built this? Who wove the fabric?
The pyramids or the people who built it? The Statue of Liberty or the people who
