Teachers only have to grade one assignment and use the one-on-one check ins as opportunities to work with students on their independent assignments]]> 2022-06-01 14:44:35 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207622332 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207623110 Scavenger Hunt App that could be used as a lesson tool for independent learning]]> 2022-06-01 14:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207623110 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207623857 Created a written lecture guide for students to read about the structure and substructure of Persuasive Speaking.

The difference was that we had the students discuss the quiz with their classmates for about 10 minutes without pens/pencils. They were able to use vocabulary learned from the unit to discuss the best way to go about to solve the problems on the quiz. After the 10 minutes, students made their way back into the classroom to complete their quiz to submit.]]> 2022-06-01 14:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207625844 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207625942 Students edit a sample FRQ to move it from a score of a 2 to a 4.

Video supported aural and visual learners. ]]> 2022-06-01 14:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207626459 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207629077 Students were divided into groups of 4 and each student was given one minute to pitch their topic and their three main subpoints. Students in the group would take notes on what they heard and then share their understanding of the student's topic and one question they had about the topic. Students were responsible for writing down the questions and then responding to them in a written reflection. This also connects to speaking and listening. ]]> 2022-06-01 14:49:43 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207629077 jenniferburton https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207629757 To encourage more focused discussion, give Ss time to think and write individually, before they speak in small group on a topic. The group can then summarize and share with class or exchange "ambassadors" among groups to share thoughts/info.]]> 2022-06-01 14:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207629757 taylorsmithbothun https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207630968 Have questions/prompts in paper bags. Students meet in a group of 3-4 and the first person pulls a question and has 1:30 to respond. Then each person in the group has 1:00 to summarize what they heard the person say. 

This can be adjusted to focus on community building, problem solving, reflection, test prep, etc. You can also adjust the protocol to limit timing or amount that someone can talk. ]]> 2022-06-01 14:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207630968 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632068 Students submitted a rough draft of their research papers and had to have it peer reviewed by three different students. Students graded the paper based on the provided rubric, has to mark up a printed copy of the paper for errors and suggested edits, and then give written and verbal feedback: 1. What was the most memorable part of the paper? 2. What did you learn from the paper? 3. What is one question you had after reading the paper? 4. What is one change you think the student should make to the paper?]]> 2022-06-01 14:52:17 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632068 https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632144 Students worked in groups of 2-3 to match vocabulary words with definitions, examples, and scenarios. The academic language for statistics is so specific and similar that students really had to discuss their understanding of the works and their assumptions about the the situations described.]]> 2022-06-01 14:52:22 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632144 gina_brown https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632541 This is a great strategy that could easily be incorporated into a Blended Classroom. You could have the kiddos come to the session having watched the video and written their six word story. Then, the kids can share their SWS using a protocol. Then the kids can combine their SWS to create a gist of the video. You could even have them delete one word and turn it into a 5 word story. ]]> 2022-06-01 14:52:44 UTC https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207632541 sarahdonley https://padlet.com/taylorsmithbothun/pwr7ajm57oqlr2fs/wish/2207634681 Reading and annotating the text using Kami.

The top row is 1 task all students have to complete.

The second row has 2 tasks and they have to choose 1.

The third row has 3 options and they have to choose 1.
