Ask 3 before me strategy

When reading today for my Level 2 Google Certification, I found this poster! What a great way to incorporate the tools that students use on a daily basis.

Text Evidence

When doing some 8th hour learning today, I came across a graphic organizer I really like! It talks about using text evidence from what you are reading to support your thinking (using the copy and paste feature). Then the other side of the organizer asks students to share their thinking (copy and pasting from their brain)! For those that know me, that phrase got a loud laugh!

Thanks for sharing,  Graphic Organizer Created by Sarah Landis http://pusdliteracyblog.blogspot.com/

Discovery Education

One of my favorite teaching resources has always been Discovery Education! The company is constantly sharing great ways to engage students in dialogue about the videos and images they see. My most recent discovery is the AEIOU strategy.

A - Adjective - List a word or two that describes something you saw or learned.
E - Emotion - Describe how a particular part of the segment made you feel.
I - Interesting - Write something you found interesting about the content/topic.
O - Oh! - Describe something that caused you to say Oh!
U - Um? - Write a question about something you learned or want to learn more about!

This helps students to focus their thinking when they are watching an instructional video! Thanks Discovery Education!
