Two Participation Strategies ~ Feb 10 by Carla Taylor https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4 How can you incorporate these two strategies into your class? en-us 2021-01-26 15:29:32 UTC 2021-02-11 21:52:54 UTC hello@padlet.com Susan Haley https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1188707706 So many of my lower students are nervous that they do not know the correct answer, so "advance warning" gives them time to work a specific problem and time to check with me to know if their answer is correct]]> 2021-02-10 17:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1188707706 Susan Haley https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1188710736 2021-02-10 17:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1188710736 ghilburn https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189261317 2021-02-10 19:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189261317 ghilburn https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189262335 I like the idea of giving students time to prepare their answers because not all students are confident in their answers to call them out in front of the entire class. Instead, this would allow them to prepare emotionally and physically to answer a question. I also agree with the "advice from the trenches" when it says to include Sally in the daily call outs too so that she doesn't get singled out. This allows all students to be on the same page and prepare their answers. ]]> 2021-02-10 19:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189262335 Kari Picillo https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189331308 Giving students advanced warning to answer questions is a wonderful idea.  In our class (My co-teacher and I), we try to at least give the students time to formulate answer.  Many times we will say Johnny (higher level student) is going answer the first question but Mary (lower level student) is going
to answer the question after that.  This way Mary can formulate an answer without being put on the spot. I do like the idea of having the students have questions the night before for them to participate and engage in a lesson the next day. With virtual learning, it is a difficult task to get students on-line (Google Meets) to participate when the other half of the class is in person. Hopefully, when we go back to 5 days a week it will change the student involvement in the lesson.

As teachers, we have used this method by saying "Class"...what is the answer to the math problem and students who are willing and eager will answer the questions. But, currently in hybrid model it is so hard to engage students and have them participate when they are virtual. This concept of answer or echo will be more effective when we are back to school 5 days a week.]]> 2021-02-10 19:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189392852 Jillian Kucic https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189884602 I can use advance warning in my classroom. A lot of times the students are afraid to raise their hand to share answers. I think implementing advance warning would help with the anxiety of sharing in front of peers. It is something plan on incorporating into my classroom.]]> 2021-02-10 21:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189884602 Bazinet hbazinet https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189885060 I really love the idea of this strategy. I Co-Teach ELA and I feel like it would be a wonderful way to encourage students to participate. We could use this for many different things such as character traits, theme, etc. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189885060 Alex Del Castillo adelcastillo4 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189886666 I think this is a great way to get students engaged and to participate.  I also feel like it's a great way to engage the students the low-ended students who may struggle a little more and who tend to not engage as much.

I have only seen this strategy played out on a 5 min warning scale but I appreciate how the day in advance would allow students to participate in lengthier discussions. I may give my students warning that I would like them to speak on Friday, virtually, since students are often radio silent when I call on them. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:47:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189887921 I think this echo strategies is really great to get all students involved in class, I think it will work well for me because I have small classes and all students are friendly, so they will not get ashamed to answer or even echo the question, it may make them more interested in answer the following questions to get participating points. rbuffon https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189888058 2021-02-10 21:47:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189888058 Sabik https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189889371 I use advance warning for EVERYTHING in my TMD room. Transitions, answering questions, changes in routine, etc. This is very helpful for my students in all areas and reduces the anxiety significantly. They all receive this strategy. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:48:00 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189889371 Jamie McKee https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189889570 In TMD I do not generally call on students unless I know they have the answer. I also usually only have them in small groups when I ask questions. Typically it causes behaviors if they do not have the answer correct, so I would not have to give them warning that they will be called on. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:48:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189889570 allibird https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189890143 I like the idea of the echo and answer - It'll give the students an opportunity to speak out and provide an answer instead of just the usual two or three that provide answers until they are comfortable speaking in front of their peers. It will also give an opportunity to understand the material by listening to their classmates' answers prior to giving their answer after hearing and repeating. One thing I would tweak with this is once they have chosen to use their echo - when they are providing their answer, they must provide the answer of the person in front of them, but add a little something to their answer that applies to the material and their understanding.]]> 2021-02-10 21:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189890143 Susan Miksa smiksa https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189890527 Advance Warning would be hard to incorporate in my Science class. Due to the hybrid schedule, every second is precious in class. I often spend most time performing labs and not writing. Most writing assignments are posted for distance learning days. I can see how this would benefit my class when we are back to 5 days. We would have more time to cover the instructional sheets in class. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189890527 I think this is a wonderful way to get students to share what they have written. For example, my students are researching an influential person. I could use this and give them a warning the day before to tell them that they are going to share why their person is influential. hbazinet https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189891532 2021-02-10 21:48:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189891532 Devon dlawson44 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189891817 I can definitely use this during class theory work as we are applying new concepts especially. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:48:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189891817 krice81 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189892153 Answer or echo sounds awesome, I would use this during a whole-class discussion.

This will be a great way for me to keep students accountable for being able to repeat and write down the correct answer. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189893875 kthorsen3 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189894081 Advanced warning can be an effective way to help students better prepare their answers before speaking as some of them are self-conscious of how they may sound in front of their peers. This allows them to even write out their answers ahead of time so they feel more confident in participating. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189894081 allibird https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189895873 I'm all for this - I was always that student that tried to count ahead of the kids reading in front of me so I could practice read which section I was going to end up reading so I didn't stumble. This would also give the students an opportunity to "perfect" their answer if they didn't put full effort into it before reading allowed to the rest of their peers. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:50:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189895873 dlawson44 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189896704 I feel like this strategy has great potential for professional-environment preparation, like are so pertinent in this state's standards. I think it's a more than valuable idea to show students that you value their comprehension and ability to voice themselves in a thought-out way. My highschoolers mostly fly by the seat of their pants every day, the least we can do is show them that their voice is important. ]]> 2021-02-10 21:50:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189896704 lsmith007 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189898943 I think this a great strategy to help reduce anxiety for students and helps to get the shy kids to participate in class more. This is something I could use with my students.]]> 2021-02-10 21:51:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189898943 krice81 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189899512 I love this idea of giving students a warning before they are called upon.

]]> 2021-02-10 21:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189905081 This strategy will work well for my A and B days students because I can quiz them on the materials we had the day they were at home, so they will have to be ready to answer questions on the day they come back to school. rbuffon https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189905597 2021-02-10 21:53:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189905597 camos12 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189907675 I actually use some sort of this strategy in class.

For all my math warm ups I allow my students to attack a difficult problem together as a team ! This allows them to answer when they are ready and work as a team.]]> 2021-02-10 21:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189910301 Brittany Horne bhorne10 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189929256 I like this strategy too because sometimes students need time to think. At this age too (middle school) students might feel embarrassed to be put on the spot and there is a process in the brain that literally makes a student unable to think because their amigdala is telling them "oh no the teacher is calling you out" and they shut down. So giving students time to think is a great option for students to prepare and calm down their emotions so they feel ready to share with the class. ]]> 2021-02-10 22:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189929256 Brittany Horne bhorne10 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189932048 I love this strategy because it allows students to all participate whether they have the answer or not.

I believe that this will also help students develop confidence. ]]> 2021-02-10 22:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189932048 Alex Del Castillo adelcastillo4 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1189979567 I LOVE this strategy because it allows you to give your shy students a chance to mentally prepare themselves.

I have a lot of discussion with students in my history classes, and using this as a way to call on the students will ensure that they either contribute with an answer OR are paying attention to the things they should learn and need to pick-up. I will definitely give this strategy a try to keep the students attentive and responsible for following along with the discussion even if they are too shy to directly contribute all the time.]]> 2021-02-10 23:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1190089309 Robert Napoli rnapoli3 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1190093189 I would certainly use the advance warning with a 1 minute warning in my class, especially for whenever my students are doing a writing activity and I see a student composing a great written response, I'll tell them that in 1 minute I am going to call on them to share their great findings with the class. I can apply this to my classes this week actually as they are working on a DBQ.]]> 2021-02-10 23:12:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1190093189 I have struggled with students not participating often. In math class, students are sometimes especially hesitant because they have not grasped the concept yet. I would definitely consider using this strategy because it allows student to pass if they wish, but they are still involved because they will have to echo another student's response. This strategy creates a great balance between helping student remain engaged, but not embarrassing them. https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1193722698 - Willson Horne

]]> 2021-02-11 18:01:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1193722698 Advance warning is a strategy I have already been slightly implementing, but not to its full capacity. I have been letting students have a few minutes to solve a problem on their own and then I tell them to make sure they are working on it because I will call on someone to share at random. However, after reading the text, I think it would be better if I give advance warning to specific students instead of the entire class. https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1194425236 - Willson Horne]]> 2021-02-11 20:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1194425236 Science vocabulary is always tricky for students to understand but needs to constantly be practiced. This strategy would work great to give students a better way to answer vocab questions and an even better way to still get correct answers even if some students are unsure. They still all receive some part of repeating and using the word/definition. cwatt001 https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1194741969 2021-02-11 21:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ctaylor001/bf89hz8apncknru4/wish/1194741969 I like this strategy and have used it in my class to help students better prepare their answers to be shared.
