Instructional Strategies Exploration by Katherine Branley https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn Initially, how do you see yourself using one or both of these questioning strategies with your class? en-us 2017-08-18 06:16:24 UTC 2017-08-24 18:26:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rocket.png I can use round table discussion to engage students in discussions in the target language, on a topic which we cover such as "the effects of technology on society". This strategy can also be used at the lower level of language learning as a means of practicing proficiency and/or discussing cultural comparisons. https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182635473 2017-08-24 17:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182635473 I can use both 'think-pair-share' and 'round table discussion' to reach both my high level and low level learners. For my high level kids, it will allow them to take their thoughts to a higher level through conversation with others. For my low level learners or EL learners, it will allow them to collect their thoughts before participating. https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636228 2017-08-24 17:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636228 Students can think and write down on their own what they want to do after high school. Then, they can pair up with another student and they can both discuss the ideas they have. Lastly, they can share as a group, but individually with the rest of the class what their plans are https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636706 2017-08-24 17:18:00 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636706 Think Pair Share https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636887 In a music classroom, the think-pair-share strategy can be used to address problems and add clarification to individual sections or parts during rehearsal. Students could discuss articulations, style, dynamics, etc. and come to a consensus as a group, and then demonstrate to the instructor and class. This would give students ownership over the material,  and allow the instructor to make changes or affirmation to a section at a time.]]> 2017-08-24 17:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182636887 I can use Think-Pair-Share to get the discussion and conversation going at the beginning of the year and to present as a group rather than an individual or a pair https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182637499 2017-08-24 17:20:25 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182637499 Annotate https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638001 I ask my students to annotate fiction and non-fiction articles so they can deeper their understanding of the text. ]]> 2017-08-24 17:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638001 GIST Summary https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638757 Students in theatre can read a Shakespearean monologue and write a word wall gist to capture the main ideas of the monologue and then a 20 word summary.]]> 2017-08-24 17:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638757 GIST https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638780 I can introduce this strategy when I cover historical context non-fiction documents prior to reading a literature selection. This is a great strategy for my SPED kiddos!]]> 2017-08-24 17:24:40 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638780 Brrrrrr...COLD CALLING https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638886 I like the idea of getting rid of raising hands in the classroom. It's the same situation every time, and those students who like to blend in usually do.
I plan on implementing cold calling this year from the start of the year and letting students know that they will be called on at will...by me. :)]]> 2017-08-24 17:25:00 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182638886 I will use the think/ share strategie so all of my students will engage. It also gives students a chance to think about what they are going to say before sharing with others. Also allows students to learn from their peers which is powerful. https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639058 2017-08-24 17:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639058 https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639362 2017-08-24 17:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639362 To engage students that tend to be passive and allow the students that always raise their hands. This also avoids having Mr. Knowi t all dominate the class https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639473 2017-08-24 17:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639473 Notice & Note https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639979 Students use "sign posts" as tools to help recognize when to stop and ask questions that lead them to important details about the text. In Algebra 1, this can be used when working through word problems. Students use the nonfiction "sign posts" to help them read the word problem first, record details, then solve the problem. The details they record help them solve the problem and document their explanation of their solution.]]> 2017-08-24 17:29:02 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182639979 Right is Right https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182640106 This method of questioning requires patience, while maintaining rigor. Hold out for the whole & complete answer, not just partial completeness.

Also spacing a concept or idea over a 4 day period

Keeps kids on their toes and adds a level of fairness. ]]> 2017-08-24 18:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657153 https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657238 The discussion round table strategy presents a multitude of benefits in facilitating engaging and measured discourse. I would be extremely interested in utilizing this strategy in my history courses to breakdown events that have multiple perspectives.]]> 2017-08-24 18:17:43 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657238 Rhetorical Precis Writing https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657391 This will absolutely be helpful when students encounter readings that challenge them. The strategy will be helpful in essay scaffolding.]]> 2017-08-24 18:18:11 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657391 Reading and Notice and Note. I can see myself continuing with the annotation in my classroom as I learn more about the process and strategies involved. I will also try the Notive and note as I may put paper on my walls and have students use the 6 categories to write to. I might also have them do it in class. https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657430 2017-08-24 18:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657430 Writing Strategies https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657465 Rhetorical precis is a writing scaffold similar to the CER model used in science and math classes.]]> 2017-08-24 18:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657465 Turn and Talk https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657667 I will use this strategy in order to explore more complex thinking tasks more accessible. I think it will break up difficult tasks and give the students a chance to talk out solutions.]]> 2017-08-24 18:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657667 Cold Calling https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182657760 Great strategy to keep all kids engaged.

I could see using this to get students to briefly summarize an article or to summarize a chapter/lesson at the end with a given word bank (aka how do all these terms link together to form a summary of our unit)]]> 2017-08-24 18:20:37 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658080 Funneling & Focusing Questions-- I plan on integrating more focusing questions to allow students more opportunity to clarify their thinking, especially when working with historical documents and themes covered in class. Planned questions can be used during occasional lectures, but my emphasis will be on scaffolding them so that students will continue to build upon their acquired knowledge. https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658173 2017-08-24 18:20:58 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658173 Cold Calling...Genius, but...I really do like the strategy and it appears, on the surface, to create accountability. However, wouldn't it create a stall in lectures based on the fact that there will inevitably be students that won't participate https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658339 2017-08-24 18:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658339 Science Thoughts https://padlet.com/branleyk/b0d25ao72jdn/wish/182658423 This works well with physics and the team work on problems really opens up the whole class to alternate solutions.
