Create a Word Wall in Answer Garden. Write all the glossary vocab words learnt in that lesson/over the unit. Students can anonymously click the words they are not comprehending so you can focus your teaching for the next lesson. Word Wall can also be used as a glossary checklist. Here is an example from year 8 pathfinders. Is there problems with this - yes. It's annonymous, they could add inappropriate words, they could click the easiest word repeatedly (as 8.1 did!) but the Pros out weigh the cons.

Ask students to write one thing they have studied during the session in a posted note sheet. I will put all those in a jar and take three notes out in a random way and discuss those ones with the class.

Type: Ensemble Building

Purpose: A fun, calm activity to play at the end of a session to reflect on the day's lesson and to reinforce the ensemble.
Materials:
A ball of yarn.
Procedure:
1. At the end of a session/rehearsal, have the class sit in a large circle.

2. Tell the students to close their eyes. Give the students an open-ended prompt that requires them to positively reflect on the day's events.

i.e.
Today I discovered that ___________.
Something I appreciated about our work today was _________.
My favorite part of the today's lesson was_______ because __________.

3. Give the students about 30 seconds to think of their response. When they have thought of a response they can open their eyes.

4. Repeat the prompt, and then answer it yourself.

5. Then unravel a few feet of yarn, hold onto the end, make eye contact with a student and lightly toss the ball of yarn to her, keeping hold of the end.

6. The new student must now repeat the prompt giving her answer, then hold onto a piece of the yarn and toss to a new player.

7. This should continue until every student has had a chance and is holding onto a piece of the yarn.

8. The result should be a beautiful web!

9. Discuss how this web is a visual representation of all the new connections and ideas that were formed today. And that by sharing and connecting they have created something strong. (At this point I like to show how strong it is by having everyone hold their end tight, and throwing a backpack or two or three onto the center...but I leave this up to you =)

PRO TIPS:

Remind the students to make eye contact with the player before tossing the yarn.

Toward the end have the students who have not received the yarn yet raise their hands.

It's OK if two students have a similar response.

Remind the students to have enough slack in the yarn before they throw it.

VARIATION:

If you'd like to roll the yarn back up, you can give the students another prompt and have them go in exact reverse order (throwing it back to whomever threw it to them). The new prompt could be something about improvement or wonder, i.e. "Something I don't quite understand is ________". or "Something that I think could make today better would be ______".

Ask students to define a key term as their exit ticket. It is helpful if these are written on the board and referred to throughout the lesson To reinforce to students. Provides scaffolding because if students are unsure they can hear the ideas of others.

Ask students to draw a hand in their exercise book and they can write 5 key things they have learnt during that lesson. Bring one most important thing out of the five for discussion.

This app is free and easy for teachers to use. They can set up a wall, naming it 'Lesson Reflection Wall'. 10 minutes at the end of a lesson staff could get students to post to the wall before they left class, highlighting what they learned, what was challenging and may need re-visiting or what was enjoyable about the lesson. See video below for quick and easy setup instructions.
