Red Light, Green Light

This strategy allows the teacher to quickly evaluate the students understanding . The teacher can distribute a red, yellow, and green objects to every student. This can be placed in the corner of their desk to visually show their understanding.
Green- I know what I am doing 
Yellow- I need just a little of help
Red- I have no understanding- teacher assistance.
This strategy is beneficial to use in multiple subjects, especially Math. The teacher can easily identify the student's needs and place them in the appropriate small group.

Each expert will share their work with the rest of the group, This allows the teacher to the ability to visit the groups and provide support when necessary.
Teachers can divide the text from the chapters in order to reduce the work load on their students, but still giving them the information from the other experts of the other chapters.]]> 2019-02-04 23:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jwitcher1/o9rilf2pzqtk/wish/327582332 Postcard jwitcher1 https://padlet.com/jwitcher1/o9rilf2pzqtk/wish/327585347 The students write a postcard discussing and describing the topic from the lesson.
