1.Compare/Contrast: this strategy is helpful for students in different subject areas when comparing two or more things. For example, in a second grade classroom, I would use this strategy to help my students compare two or more characters in a story.
2. Checklists: This strategy is useful for students during their whole life of education. An example of a checklist in a 4th grade classroom could be a checklist of requirements for an essay that students write. By giving students their requirements, it helps them know what the expectations for them are.

# data[].attributes.body
Checklists are an assessment tool used to track if students achieved learning objective. This allows students to play an active role in their learning process by , for example, in a 3rd grade classroom the students could self-reflect and check off a list for the writing process. Some examples could be if they have a title, if they indented, complete sentences, details, intro and conclusion, etc. Checklists can be modified for any grade level or any type of learners

Mnemonic Devices: a mnemonic device is a strategy that can be used to help students remember things by the starting letter of a word. One example of a mnemonic device is PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally) to help students remember the order of operations in 3rd, 4th, or 5th grade.
Kahoot: Kahoot is an online multipurpose game where you can create multiple choice questions for students to answer. A Kahoot example is making multiple choice questions to review math problems for first and second grade students such as word addition and subtraction problems.

1. Mnemonic devices:techniques that a person can use to help them remember something. Mnemonic devices help people recall information and it helps your brain better depict meaning of whatever one may be examining. In a first grade classroom, it could be challenging for students to learn about the basics of geography. It can be hard for students to remember and recall the north, south, east and the west. To help students with this concept, we may teach the class how to use a mnemonic device to remember these 4 directional terms.
Grade 2 Example: We would use the mnemonic device of Never Eat Soggy Waffles to help the students remember the directions.
2. Think-alouds: modeling your thinking by verbalizing your thoughts out loud to your students, helps with monitoring for comprehension and shows students how meaning-making is done
Grade 2 example: To teach students how they should be close-reading their text, a teacher will do a think aloud of a short reading to model what their thought processes look like as they are reading the text

RAP
This strategy can be used to teach students how to read, ask themselves what the main idea of the story was, and then out this into their own words.
We thought this could be used in a second grade classroom for guided reading. this could help the students identify and summarize main ideas.

Kahoot!
This is a game that is often used for review. A teacher can go into the website and create their own questions that their students can answer in class. The students can log into cahoot, put in the pin, and then be able to answer the questions in class. This is a great tool to use for reviewing different concepts.
Kahoot can be used for any grade level and any subject. For example, this can be used in a third grade classroom when reviewing for multiplication. I created one a few weeks as a review for multiplication for my students. The students are always engaged during this activity and helps them review for the concept.

1. Summarizing: retells a story by explaining specific details. This can be used in 5th grade when you are having students summarize an excerpt they have read by using the five finger retell.
2. Guided Notes: An outline or skeleton of notes that the teacher provides to the students during a lesson. This can be used in 5th grade by giving students a graphic organizer that contains areas for students to fill in as they take notes.

(1)Mnemonic devices: are strategies used to help students memorize things. For students who are in 4th grade learning the order of operations, using the mnemonic device PEMDAS will help them remember the steps of this certain process. (2) Comparing and contrasting helps students understand similarities and differences by using graphic organizers or discussion questions. In 3rd grade students may compare genres of books using a Venn Diagram.

# data[].attributes.body
Mnemonic devices are a pattern of letters that assist in the retaining of information. An example could be PEMDAS, a mnemonic for the order of operations. A grade-appropriate example of how I could apply the strategy in my class of third graders is to have them come up with personal mnemonic devices to remember long information that could be broken down in any subject.

Checklists are a great strategy to use in order to help students work through different tasks. They can be used for classroom procedures as well as instruction. Checklists break down larger concepts or procedures into smaller and easier to understand tasks. They are a great tool for all students. In 3rd grade, checklists can be used for editing student essays. A checklist can be made to have students make sure all sentences start with capital letters and end with a period and so on.

# data[].attributes.body
Checklist- are organization and study tools they can be used to track different tasks you are presented with. In the classroom Can be used in the beginning of the unit or throughout to help students identify what they know or don't know
Compare/Contrast- helps students find the difference between two like things. In the classroom we can use venn diagrams when comparing different characters from the same story

# data[].attributes.body
Graphic Organizers- Graphic organizers help students stay organized and keep their information in one place. Can be used to make connections between information.

3rd grade- compare and contrast fairytales

Guided Notes- Teacher prepared handouts that underline important ideas where students can follow along with the information presented.

5th grade- Can be used during Social Studies when students are learning about countries during WWII.

Checklist: outlines of tasks that students can use to be successful in class with curriculum or behaviors.
Example: Writing checklist for 2nd grade. It can include beginning, middle, and end along with punctuation, uppercase/lowercase, etc.

Mnemonics: This is a strategy to help remember important information across curriculums. It can help calm nerves of students when learning a lot of information. It also allows to make the information that is being retained more personalized. One example for 3/4th graders is PEMDAS in math.

# data[].attributes.body
Graphic Organizers: A tool used to help break down large quantities of information and lower level students organize and visually see a prompt. We would use a graphic organizer for writing when teaching a certain way to organize a paragraph or essay.

Guided Notes: Guided notes are notes given to students to fill in certain blanks. Guided notes are used to keep students on track and engaged on assignments so that they know what to look for. An example of how you could apply this strategy would be when taking notes for different subjects, especially when using heavy textbooks like during social studies.

Kahoot It! is a website tool used that can be used in classrooms. It allows teachers or students to make multiple choice questions and then assess students in the form of a quiz game. This would be appropriate for 2nd and up I think since it can be adapted for age levels. You could use it to quickly assess student understanding before a unit.

Checklists are assessment tools that look for student progress in an organized manner. Simple statements are used as a criteria for the students. There are many ways to modify checklists and apply them to various subjects and grade levels. An example of a checklist may be a revision checklist. In other words, students would check off what aspects of writing they have revised to make sure they are crafting a piece of writing with all the essential elements.

Plickers: A plicker is a paper clicker that is used as an assessment tool. Students are given a  scannable card which they rotate on its side to answer the question and data is displayed on the teacher’s device.

Example: 3rd Grade check-in to see how they are feeling at the start of the day. A for great, B for good, C for okay, D for bad.

Kahoot: Online multiple choice interactive game that assesses students.

Example: 4th Grade review for a test.

Compare and contrast - to look at two different things or objects and determine how the two are similar and different from one another; often times using a Venn Diagram

EX: in a second grade class, you could use this strategy to compare two different books or topics and use a Venn Diagram to organize their thoughts

Checklist - to write a list of the things you still need to do and cross them off as you do it to keep yourself organized; often the things are in the order of priority to get done
EX: in a third grade class, students could use this when fulfilling a bigger assignment to help them keep track of what is due when, keeping them organized and on top of their work

Flipped classrooms are an effective teaching technique because they allow students to review and learn concepts on their own time. Students can do more interactive and collaborative work in class, including discussions and tasks with their peers and teacher. Flipped learning helps keep students engaged instead of just listening and taking notes. It makes good use of downtime by allowing students to combine workout or commute time with further learning. One example of a flipped classroom is discussing material from a previous lecture online with their peers.

Venn Diagrams: Venn Diagrams are a helpful strategy to have students organize notes, and compare and contrast two ideas. It is something that can be used in a variety of grade levels and subjects and still be successful. Venn Diagrams are also helpful because students can use their notes to later go back and study or review what they have written. The only problem that Venn Diagrams could create is that it requires students to be able to compare and contrast two ideas. They must be able to find similarities and differences.

Kahoot is a fun and interactive game to help students review learning concepts. It can be personalized to be used as a pre-assessment or post-assessment. A pro is that the students can be anonymous— thus ensuring a safer learning environment. This can be used with children of any grade level as a quick review activity.
Graphic organizers can be used across all subjects to help students organize their ideas/learning process. It is a great strategy to introduce to students before a new concept, a difficult concept, or just as a simply note-taking skill. The organizers give students something to refer back to if necessary.

Guided Notes
Guided notes are teacher prepared handouts that help students navigate what is important in a lecture and what is not as important. They can have fill in the blanks, key concepts, or general things for the students to look out for. In a fifth grade classroom, we would start the students with notes that were almost completely "filled out" with very few spaces, and then, as the year went on, there would be more and more spaces to help the students prepare for taking notes in middle school.

Checklists

Help students monitor their learning and keep track of their progress. Students are aware of the expectations set for them. I could use these in 1st Grade if a student is having difficulty with the morning routine. I would tape a checklist to their desk with different items that they must do in order to follow the morning routine.

Color Coding - using colors to help in memory and overall comprehension. I would use color coding throughout my future classroom. I would love to use color to assign groups of words or areas around the classroom! I would also use color to help provide anchor charts throughout the classroom!
Plickers is an interactive technology strategy that uses printable paper clickers (like a QR code). They can be used to collect quick feedback of formative assessment data. This strategy can be used in the classroom to gather data needed to inform their instruction.

Kahoot: Kahoot is an online resource that can be used as an assessment for students. Teachers can create questions a set of questions that can be presented in the class in a timely manner. Students can get direct feedback, and have the opportunity to use technology. This can be a good formative assessment for a 5th grade class for a vocabulary check-in.
Compare/Contrast: Compare and contrast is a good strategy to use when compare two like things. Students can use analytical skills to determine comparisons and differences. For example, students who are learning about fairy tales and cultural differences, they can use a compare and contrast chart to explore those differences and similarities in culture and writing.

# data[].attributes.body
Compare and Contrast:

Finding relationships between ideas, facts, and information; finding similarities and differences between these

Ex: In order to apply this strategy, you could use venn diagrams as a graphic organizer. You could use this in a writing activity where you are comparing animals in the same ecosystem.

Checklists:

Making sure students are organized and on task; involves a sequence of steps or tasks for students to follow and look at

Ex: Students may have a checklist to follow every morning during the normal routine. In my placement, a couple students have theirs taped to their desk, helping them during the morning routine.

This is a visual display that shows relationships between facts or ideas. This can be used in a 2nd grade classroom in a science lesson to visually organize classifications of animals. The students could come up with different animals and within the graphic organizer they can write details about each animal and their habitats. This is also helpful for ELL learners or struggling readers because it can be modified and shortened .

Compare and contrast: this can be use to compare and contrast similarities or difference between two different things. It provides a very good visual representations for students to compare directly of how two things are different and same.
This can be used for all grade level even with the first graders. The teacher can use this to help student understand how two version of the same story are similar and different in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
Compare and Contrast- When you take two topics that connect in some way and compare differences and similarities that connect between the topics.  One way you could use this in the classroom is with Venn Diagrams, another strategy.  Venn Diagrams are two circles that overlap.  Students place the common information in the middle where it overlaps and places the information that is different in the separate parts of the circles.

Mnemonic Devices- Students use common items, rhymes, key words, and acronyms to memorize important information.  An example of this is teaching students the order of operations by having them remember “Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” because each word symbolizes a math operation in its correct order (Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiply, Divide, Add, Subtract).

Think alouds:
Description:Teachers verbalize while reading aloud. They describe the things that they are thinking while reading. This allows students to see how a skilled reader reads to make sense of the things that they are reading.
Grade appropriate activity: You could use this activity while reading research articles to 5th graders since it is a new concept and they most likely would need help to make sense of the things that are being read.
Comparing and contrasting:
Description: finding similarities and differences between two like things. The four strategies that are involved with comparing and contrasting are comparing, classifying, creating analogies, andcreating metaphors.

Grade appropriate activity:

When reading two different fairytales in 5th grade, students create their own venn diagrams that allow them to compare and contrast elements of each fairytale.

# data[].attributes.body
A think aloud is used while reading as a way to process and verbalize our thoughts. Teachers use this as a way to model to students how skilled readers construct meaning from a text (can be used as a way of predicting, questioning, visualizing, making connections, etc.). In third grade, a think aloud can be used when reading a book and working on making connections. Using a think aloud, I would say something along the lines of, “This part of the book reminds me of the time where I…”. Once it’s modeled to students, they can try making connections on their own.

A venn diagram is a strategy for students to organize their thoughts when using compare and contrast. An example of this strategy in a fourth grade classroom would be when discussing different animals in the animal kingdom. Students can find similarities and differences between two animals of the same species. The students are able to organize their thoughts and create a visual that shows the similarities and differences between those animals.

Cornell Note Taking

It is a two column note sheet used to organize ideas and how to make sense of them. For example, in the right column the students would write their notes during class and after they are finished. They can debrief and review by writing questions/key terms in the left column. Lastly, students can write a summary at the bottom. An example could be for learning about the water cycle. Students would take notes about what happens in each step and then break up the left part into different key words that represent each phase.

Mnemonics

Mnemonics is a device that associates a group of letters/phrase that represent terms of a topic. They can be used across all subjects and grade levels. An example would be ROY G BIV which could used to help students remember the color order of a rainbow.

Strategy: Guided notes

Guided notes can be used as an instructional strategy to provide students with handouts during lessons and activities. Guided notes can come in a variety of formats which makes this instructional strategy appropriate for all grade levels. In a second grade classroom, guided notes can be used for students to follow along during a lesson. Students can be provided filled-in notes with blanks so that they do not have to copy down a large amount of information.

# data[].attributes.body
Checklists: List of academic or procedural tasks to complete. Way for students to stay organized with what they need to accomplish. Other checklists can be used for behavior as way to guide. This can be used at any grade level. Can be used as a way to check if all parts of an assignment are complete prior to being turned in.

Kahoot!: Online resource for students to use as a form of quizzing students within their classroom. Multiple students can play at once and can be played in a game like fashion. Teachers can invent their own quizzes or use an already invented one. Can apply this in the classroom by using questions to check comprehension from a group reading at any grade level and any intensity.

Strategy 1: Mnemonics
This is a learning strategy is a technique that allows students to remember and retain new information. There are several categories of mnemonics that can be taught, and some of the most popular involve acronyms and word association.
A great way to use this at the fifth grade level (beyond just teaching study skills) would be to teach students the PEMDAS acronym for the order of operations in math as a great reminder of which to use first for each problem.

Strategy 2: Checklists
This strategy involves having students go through a list of tasks, reminders, or goals and check them "off" as they complete each one.
This could used for students of all ages and could be implemented in different ways for students who have varied needs. It could be used as part of the writing process to make sure students are moving through each part of the writing or assignment process sequentially. Students can set small goals to work towards and check them off as they finish them to reach a bigger goal.

Cornell notes are notes that are split into two columns. The right column is dedicated to taking whole class notes and the left column is dedicated to writing questions or key terms that make sense of the notes. The left column is usually filled out after the notes have been taken. We think that cornell notes are beneficial to use during math. In math, there are certain steps that are a little difficult than others and I think the left column of the cornell notes would help point out areas that need clarification.

Cornell notes: They are an efficient way to organize your notes. You have heading on one side of the paper, points on the other side and you have a bottom section to add a summary. It can be used in fifth grade social studies or upper grades in subjects that you want students to take notes on.

color coding: This strategy is used to distinguish between terms and information that you may need. For example in fourth grade you may have your students use blue pens to write down vocabulary but they must write the definition in black ink.

Strategy 1: Compare & Contrast Description: In this strategy, students are looking at how two (or more) things are similar or different. This can be done in the form of a Venn Diagram where students are looking at how two things have aspects about them that are different, as well as aspects about them that are the same. Example: An example of how 4th grade students could apply this strategy could be when they are working on comprehending text, and they are comparing and contrasting two different characters’ motives in the story. This will help them comprehend the story by looking at how the characters are similar and different. Strategy 2: Guided Notes Description: This strategy is a way to keep students engaged in their learning and also teach them the skills that they will need when studying in the future. Example: Typically, guided notes provide them with most of the material that is taught and then they fill in blanks. This can be helpful for students so they can focus on the content as opposed to focusing on writing it all down.

Guided notes: Typed-out or pr
ewritten notes that are given to the students before the lesson. I have used something similar in my stat class. There was a notebook of notes that each student had to fill in during lecture. Similarly, this could be helpful for students of any other grades to keep all students on a similar pace.

Kahoot!: Online assessment that can be used as a pre or post assessment. Students can answer questions that are projected on the screen in real time and both teacher and students get immediate feedback. In a math lesson, an equation could be put on the board for students to respond to with Kahoot!.
