2) Silent Appointment- went well in general, only 2 people without a partner.
3) We showed some love when the class immediately responded to Freeze Body:)

The students wrote down a question and answer on the notecard. They then used the standup/handup/pairup strategy of finding a partner. Once they found their partner they high fived one another and then shared. They exchanged cards and we continued this for 3 rounds.

Silent Appointment- students from different teams used eye contact to find a partner and then shared and reflected on what they learned from their teams in terms of strategies (what worked and what didn't).]]> 2018-11-07 15:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/301553232 Scott Robinson https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/307867026 I used silent appointment for finding partners in a game called steal the bacon.  I had the students use eye contact with someone they would like to team up with.  I was hoping this would eliminate the "I don't have a partner" issue that I often run into but it didn't go completely as I had hoped.  I still had the same one or two students come up to me and say they could not find a partner.  I also had an odd number so that didn't help.  I do see how does work but I need more practice.

This allowed all students to have their voice heard. As I checked in with students, they were engaged in dialogue. The strategy did promote students chatting with different peers as I told them their silent partner needed to be across the room. :)

I had the class come up with their own call and responses and I picked the one that I liked best. It was "I say Mr. Robinson and you say- Is the best". Once we established it and tested it. I asked the students to self select the loudest and most obnoxious student and they would be the person to start the call and response. I would give them a signal when I wanted them to start it. This worked well because you MUST be loud in the gym because there is so much space and sound doesn't travel well. I ended up using the student multiple times throughout the class and the students responded well.

In 8th grade, students needed to act out what they would do for the protective factors.

Students did this individually, but all together at the same time, after they discussed with a peer what they would do.

Benefits:  students are more engaged when learning from peers, and it allowed more individualized help. I was able to stand back and observe students, so I could see which ones will still need more follow-up with me.

This response protocol I used for students to share differences and similarities of different letterheads they found online. I asked them to find another partner away from the table they were sitting at, find a letterhead example, compare it to the example of the Friedell letterhead and share their evidence of how the one they found is same or different than the Friedell one. ]]> 2019-03-01 19:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/337014617 Silent appointment modification loringen https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339338588 I've been using silent appointment for quite a while, but at Riverside I added the option for the kids to choose a teacher or volunteer as their partner.  This gave me the chance to catch the eye of students who needed extra TLC so I could work 1:1 with them.

I also noticed that kids who were tired of working with the same friend gave a little head shake when their friend tried to pick them again, and they chose someone else instead. It was a nice way for them to silently decline.]]> 2019-03-08 15:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339338588 Mystery reading strategy loringen https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339340374 I'm not sure where this one fits. When we're working on a line of music that is hard and we have to repeat it a lot, I like to divide the class into groups and assign each group measures to play.  For instance, girls play m. 1, boys m. 2, girls m. 3... It helps the kids not get lost and not get as bored with all the repeats.

Using "somebody who," I changed up the groups. Those who have a dog are group 1, those who have cats group 2, those with no pets group 3, etc.]]> 2019-03-08 15:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339340374 Student Explanations krnelson1 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339474833 I am not sure this one has a true CLR name... maybe it does and I am not aware?!

As part of our math review, each table group was assigned a different question. The groups were in charge of explaining how to solve the problem to the rest of the class. 

The next day, I took groups who wanted to volunteer since it was our first time trying it. 
In the 3 hours, almost ALL groups wanted to volunteer to explain the problem to the class. 

I felt our review was so discussion-based... it was awesome!]]> 2019-03-08 20:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339474833 Campfire directions slide from Egle :) lawillis1 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339758826 2019-03-10 23:25:40 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/339758826 Jigsaw/Diamond Discussion from Egle lawillis1 https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341295317 2019-03-14 12:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341295317 Mix-Pair Share erapplen https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341483854 After completing a financial literacy simulation, students needed to take their experiences and have deeper discussions about them. We did Mix-Pair Share in class where I had several content related questions presented to them and they stood up, found a partner, discussed a questions and voted for their answer (in this case one finger for True and two fingers for False). They had to discuss with their partner to make sure they were both in agreement. Then I played some music for 10 seconds, just enough time to find another partner for them to discuss the next question with. ]]> 2019-03-14 18:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341483854 Jump in loringen https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341917214 I used jump in to warm students up before a test. One student starts playing the test line, and others can jump in and take over whenever they want.  It got the class listening carefully and paying attention to their rhythm as they tried to jump in at the right time. Students who were less confident didn't have to play solo in front of the class, but were still following along.

I wouldn't recommend doing this with unfamiliar music or difficult text. They need to be able to fit into the pulse set by the other student. For music, I told them to fade out as they heard another student play instead of cutting right off, so we wouldn't have an awkward moment between them.]]> 2019-03-15 19:43:12 UTC https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/341917214 Reading Strategies mebonin https://padlet.com/lawillis1/s7nh8pvs5zpw/wish/354459291 Jump in reading-  The students like this one the best so far, as  a whole group reading strategy.
Tag Reading-  I like this one, but I think it makes kids a little nervous for some weird reason.
Buddy Reading-  I am using this a lot.  The kids like it.
