Would like to implement more responses that involve movement.

I saw some new ones that I would like to try and incorporate into my classroom. I have a very chatty class so this will be easier for me to check for student needs/understanding without everyone talking all at once.]]> 2022-02-12 16:00:27 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818549 We have a lot of silent signals that I introduced off the bat (restroom, water, etc.). My students have helped to brainstorm others so we've added more over time (like "I need a new mask," "I need to put my jacket away," and others!). My students really enjoy brainstorming more options, which gives them more autonomy in the process and how we communicate! allisonwarnagiris https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818719 2022-02-12 16:00:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818719 Scavenger hunts https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818769 I have used silent signals for checking understanding, and when I am not getting a lot of oral response during class discussions/instruction. I have also used scavenger hunts and escape rooms to get them moving around the room.]]> 2022-02-12 16:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818769 https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818778 I've used thumbs up/down to check for understanding. We also use a silent signal school wide to ask to go to the restroom. I would like to use more silent signals in my classroom I think they are very powerful. ]]> 2022-02-12 16:00:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818778 Stand Up/ Sit Down ravenmcneely https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818838 In order to gauge student answers on a whole-group level, asking them to stand up/sit down if they agree/disagree is a great way to engage all students. Sometimes they don't want to speak up, but they'll stand up.]]> 2022-02-12 16:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818838 https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043818866 Dry erase boards are good to add a draw it type of answer response.  Good for ELL, 504, SPED

It helps empower!]]> 2022-02-12 16:01:12 UTC https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043819095 Hand signals https://padlet.com/rebeccamiller8/oqe99dwfbn0u189u/wish/2043819121 Thumbs up/down to show agreement/disagreement.
