Instead of starting a lesson by having students preview the text and answer Journey's questions, I had students participate create a visual representation of figurative language by using random classroom supplies (like a maker space). Students did a gallery gallop and tried to guess what each representation was and at the end we connected each visual to an element of figurative language that might appear in the story we are reading. This helped me realize the value in using an activity to connect to ALL students, students were motivated and engaged, and the connection to instruction was so targeted, students had a reason to read and analyze text to see what they could find. My question for my colleagues is what are some other ways I could use this type of activity in other content areas I teach like Math or Social Studies? Thanks! ]]> 2020-03-11 19:22:36 UTC https://padlet.com/burkeme1/bghu63t7x2gw/wish/458675672
