Good evening! I received a classroom walk through this week from my principal. She observed the community learning wall, Frayer model, and student products that were posted. The data collection feedback went well and I am preparing for the SURN visit. I am going to be utilizing other power tools from the textbook this week. Any feedback from tools that you have used would be helpful! Have a great week!

When I started this school year I used the Golden Lines template to do making connections. It worked so much better then I thought it would with my students. They caught on really well. I also had my students make graffiti walls at the end of a unit to just put everything they knew out there... they had a ton of fun with it and they look awesome when they get finished! (I cant remember where it is in the book, but its somewhere!)
ReplyDeleteI really like Golden Lines and T-Charts for making connections. I use both frequently in my World History I classes (9th grade, mixed ability). I have also shown several teachers how to incorporate Golden Lines and T-Charts into their lessons. My students now grasp the concept of using both items to make connections.
ReplyDeleteI am going to incorporate the T charts as well. I have been focusing on the Frayer Model and the 3-2-1 activies to analyze the information from all angles and to make connections. Both have been very effective when analyzing the material.
