Orchestra positive: "Question of the Day" with music at the beginning of each class to get students to chat with each other. The chat is going crazy every time there is a food question.  :) This also helps to encourage students to get to class on time and even 5-10 minutes early.

Radford’s 6th grade science: demo experiments, hands-on activities (water cycle pictorial drag-and-drop), large concept is broken into chunks then reviewed with TPRs (total physical response)

Margason’s 8th grade science: starts class with a padlet that instantly engages students in the content, Gizmos videos for demos of experiments, interactive notebooks

Flocabulary: highly engaging to intro or review or supplemental for visual explanations

Kahoot: slowly adding content from warm-ups to review and then assess. NEW FEATURE: assessment data at the end of the game, shows total percentage of student response as well as top 2 missed questions for further review
