This practice is beneficial even for students who do not have any background knowledge on the topic, because at the very least, they will be able to activate   related knowledge, which will allow them to formulate crucial links between new and previously acquired content.]]> 2017-01-30 01:06:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mswinford/ouhz7uvlzj55/wish/150132272 mswinford https://padlet.com/mswinford/ouhz7uvlzj55/wish/150134300

Highlights critical information to guide students in knowing what information they should be listening for.

Teacher asks questions and shares information to catch the attention of the class and activate background knowledge students may have about new content. 

Technology Enhancement

• Survey Monkey
  •  Online surveying tool used to conduct surveys with students before lessons.
• Polling Technology
  • Great tool for drawing out students' understanding or misconception while previewing new content.
  • Students can respond to questions using clickers and then the results can be displayed.
• Digitized Primary Source Documents
  • Used to help students generate links between past knowledge, related knowledge, and new content.
• Digital Videos
  • Used for previewing new content and activating students' prior knowledge.

Students will glance at headings, subheadings, and images to make inferences about the meaning of text before reading.

Students will then try to summarize the main ideas in the section, make predictions, or compose questions about the content.

Technology Enhancement

• Presentation Software (Prezi or Google Drive) or IWB software.
  • Can be used as a visual prompt to skim each heading and stimulate student discussion prior to the lesson.

K column of the chart:  Class brainstorms about what they already know about the topic.

W column of the chart:  Class brainstorms information they want to find out about the topic.

L column of the chart:  Class generates a list of information they learned throughout the lesson.  

Technology Enhancement

• Use technology to create interactive, multi sensory  versions of the K-W-L elements.
• Use IWB software to add textual element.
• Use hyperlinks to argument the K-W-L chart with supporting information.
• Use clickers to suggest elements for the     K-W-L chart.

• Allows students to visualize the structure, organization, and flow of information.
• Helps students make connections between new content and previously learned content.

Technology Enhancement

• Create a graphic organizer that previews new content, its connections, and its sequence using online presentation software.

This is used to pique students' interest and activate background knowledge.

Teachers can create a series of statements and have students respond to them.

After students have time to work through anticipation guides, the teacher leads them in a whole group discussion.

Technology Enhancement

• Use clickers to have students respond to anticipation guide questions at the beginning of the lesson.
• Use a random name generator to choose students to defend their answers.

Teacher creates a list of key words and phrases from the new content, presents the list to students, and has them to classify them into categories.

Once the terms are categorized the teacher leads the students in a whole-class discussion about the sorting of the terms, how they relate to one another, and what students already know about the topic.

Technology Enhancement

• Wordle
  • Allows students to create a word cloud that represents the frequency of words.
  • Used to stimulate class discussion about the content.

Make sure that technology is available to the whole class.

Make sure students have access to many online tools like Survey Monkey, Digital Videos, Prezi, Google Drive, IWB software, and Wordle.

Students need to know how make and use graphic organizers.

Clickers need to be easily accessible.

Use a generator first to see how it works.

Get feedback from your students to see what strategies are working well.
