The students were able to do their film festival at the end of the year.  ]]> 2017-11-25 03:43:13 UTC https://padlet.com/sheilarobison1/qrhr62rc68rm/wish/209998425 sheilarobison1 https://padlet.com/sheilarobison1/qrhr62rc68rm/wish/209998722 An instructional strategy I would also use would be the KWL chart. This is a great tool to see what the students know, what they want to know and what they learned. This way students are also able to stay on track with a task when they are being reminded what they are learning. Teachers can make sure they are teaching the students in a way that they will be able to understand and follow the material being taught. ]]> 2017-11-25 03:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/sheilarobison1/qrhr62rc68rm/wish/209998722
