As its name implies, it involves having students think about a stimulus, pair with a peer to compare their thinking, and share out their response. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270897714 2018-07-23 21:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270897714 Annotations, collaborative discussions, and questioning that requires to justify their interepretations are ways I allow students to demonstrate their thinking process. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270897895 2018-07-23 21:16:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270897895 While a strategy is a set of steps for accomplishing a given aim, a routine is a set of steps that is carried out again and again. jennifer_witcher https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900482 2018-07-23 21:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900482 Annotations, collaborative discussion, thinking logs are tools that I use to allow students to demonstrate their thinking process. jennifer_witcher https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900587 2018-07-23 21:57:30 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900587 Think-Pair-Share in which students are asked to respond to a stimulus, share their thinking with a peer, and then share their thinking is a routine in place in my classroom to elicit thinking. jennifer_witcher https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900633 2018-07-23 21:58:03 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/270900633 anna_coronado https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271031615 A routine is something you do daily and you do it the same way all the time. A strategy is a tool you use to help you understand or achieve something. Different strategies can be used and still get the same result.]]> 2018-07-25 00:21:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271031615 A routine is a process or procedure followed regularly. For example, the way students enter the classroom and get materials each day is a routine. A strategy implies that there is a goal in mind and the strategy is your game plan for achieving that goal. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271103276 2018-07-25 15:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271103276 One of my favorite lessons that gets students to focus on making their process visual is text graffiti. It is similar to annotating in that students are reacting to the text by writing down their reactions/thoughts near the original text. The main difference is that students are in groups and doing close reads of provocative excerpts that make you want to talk about them. Instead of talking out loud, students write or draw their conversations with each other on the text directly. After about a minute, groups pass their quote on to the next group and go again. Also gets them really eager to talk once the silent period is over. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271103766 2018-07-25 16:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271103766 Engaging warm ups are a daily part of the routine in my classroom and I try to choose some sort of short, highly engaging media that will be somehow connected to our lesson. Students always consume the media (read/watch/listen, etc), then talk, then write, then share out and it starts class with creative thought, the chance to talk, and an opportunity to write. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271104307 2018-07-25 16:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271104307 katherine_gatenby https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271130221 A classroom strategy is a plan designed for achieving a particular goal in the classroom, while a classroom routine is a system put in place to complete day-to-day tasks.]]> 2018-07-25 23:06:32 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271130221 katherine_gatenby https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271130670 Annotations, Socratic seminars, table discussions, Level 2 and Level 3 questions, and dialectical journals are all ways I allow my students to show their thinking in my classroom.]]> 2018-07-25 23:11:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271130670 katherine_gatenby https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271131124 I started the routine of Talk-Read-Talk-Write in my classroom last year and had a lot of success with it. My students knew that each lesson would be constructed in a way where they had to TALK about an engaging picture/quote/question/idea, READ a text which relates to the idea or their notes to refresh the lesson while coming up with level 2 and level 3 questions, TALK about their questions and whatever prompt I have for them to discuss, and WRITE a response to what they discussed. Throughout the lesson they are being forced to think on a variety of levels and either teach themselves the new skill (through discovery) or develop questions to deepen their understanding.]]> 2018-07-25 23:16:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271131124 To me, routines are repeated actions, such as classroom norms, duties, and processes, whereas strategies are tactics implemented to achieve a desired and specific effect on the students. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330289 2018-07-28 11:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330289 To me, one of the greatest and easiest ways to find out what a student is thinking is to follow up questions (either verbally or written) with either "Why?", "Why not?", or "How?" https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330370 2018-07-28 11:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330370 Discussion/questioning strategies with random student selection using the "Popsicle Sticks" App. Keeps students engaged and on their toes because they never know when they are going to be called on to contribute meaningfully to the discussion. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330567 2018-07-28 11:35:39 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271330567 A routine is a way of completing a task; it helps in organization and setting the environment. Whereas when I think of a strategy, I tend to think about an action that is tied to skills mastery and it's something that is more tied to curriculum instruction. kathryn_esparza https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271382638 2018-07-29 21:39:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271382638 Annotating, LTDs where the students come up with the question, close reading, class discussion. kathryn_esparza https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271382900 2018-07-29 21:45:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271382900 When I have students annotate for something in particular (characterization, diction, rhetorical appeals), I always remind them to jot down notes - that way when we go into discussion and I ask them to share what they found, they are better able to explain why they annotated what they did. kathryn_esparza https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271383114 2018-07-29 21:49:00 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271383114 christopher_patten https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271465920 A strategy is a technique used by the classroom to grapple with concepts. There are multiple ways to use the strategy and it can apply to a variety of texts. A routine is a set procedure that helps facilitate the use of strategies. Costa's levels of questions are a strategy, and the Socratic Seminar is a routine that helps facilitate their use. ]]> 2018-07-30 17:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271465920 christopher_patten https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/271466204 Heavy use of discussion within the classroom.

I have been teaching 6th grade for the past few years, so I have to remind them that their thoughts and feelings are never wrong. They just need to be able to justify them. We always have to include "because" in our answers. ]]> 2018-08-05 21:38:26 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272002964 amanda_pearson1 https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272003573 The sixth grade curriculum is based on a reading workshop structure. There is a lot of time devoted to independent reading choice which does not allow for much classroom discussion of the independent reading.  One on one  conferences are where I can see their thinking and ask questions that help them go deeper into the material.

One way is Socratic seminars to create a panel style discussion. Another way I have students demonstrate their thinking is to have students use flip grid or like edu puzzles/create to explain how they arrived at the end result. Since I use interactive student notebooks, I have students demonstrate their thinking on the left side of their notebook. In the beginning of the school year I teach how to demonstrate thinking as the year progresses students begin selecting their own methods.

A strategy is a particular way to teach or learn something such as using index cards to study. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272851267 Amy Bryant]]> 2018-08-13 12:36:47 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272851267 Amy Bryant https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272851899 Class discussions, guided questions, reflections]]> 2018-08-13 12:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272851899 Amy Bryant https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272852125 Annotations are a routine in my classroom. students are required to underline unknown vocabulary words and thoughts in order to interact with their reading lens.]]> 2018-08-13 12:41:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272852125 Shelley Dehart https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272904953 A classroom strategy is used to help understand a skill; a routine is something followed for consistency. ]]> 2018-08-13 17:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272904953 Shelley Dehart https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/272905282 hashtag; annotations; sticky notes; share alouds; small group; large group

It allows students to write down their thinking before sharing. Also, I feel that journal writing elicits thinking as well.

A classroom strategy should be more of an intervention in response to student behavior or specific needs. I see classroom strategies as a way to differentiate for student behaviors. Some kids need different types of attention at different times to feel as if the space for learning is safe and comfortable. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273042374 2018-08-14 12:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273042374 Cassy Robles: Before we write anything down, I give students time to think quietly for 1-2 minutes. Then I tell them that they need to share with a partner or small group. I think talking allows students more freedom to brainstorm ideas without feeling limited--I have noticed students don't like to write things that are rough and they especially don't want anyone to read something they have written that is rough, but they will most certainly say the very first thing that comes to mind. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273044578 2018-08-14 12:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273044578 Cassy Robles: giving students time to think...it seem obvious, but it's easy for teachers to feel like time spent quietly without any instruction or when we are not observing tangible student work as a waste of time. However, when I think about how I am able to draft and create new ideas, I ALWAYS feel like I need a minute to just stop, be still, and think. I try to make sure that I am giving students this kind of time, but I make sure this becomes a regular routine where students know the rules: sit quietly (close your eyes if you're not too cool), no writing, no sharing verbally even if it's a really good idea etc. https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273045172 2018-08-14 12:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273045172 Erica Viesca erica_viesca https://padlet.com/lindsay_lombardi/pjuyyzfb4k44/wish/273131716 Routines are mostly about making things run more efficiently in the classroom and having a contingency plan for behaviors and unexpected events.
