I could use real world problems to make the assignments meaningful to students and generate interest. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:07:01 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201203746 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201203761 Definitely like the idea of creating a gif. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:07:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201203761 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204116 I like how the group activities allow students to discuss the content as well as complete a task together instead of encouraging students to work idvidiually then compile their information. This is especially true in the Spanish lesson. This strategy could easily be used in other content areas by giving students a problem to solve where there may be different approaches and answers instead of a fact based (1 correct answer and approach) question. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:07:41 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204116 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204132 I like the idea of students creating theories now poetic verse demonstrating various literary devices like hyperbole, etc. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:07:45 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204132 ddawber https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204444 I liked the idea of using a embedded video to answer questions. The video creates a different interest, it brings the lesson to life, and fosters a deeper understanding. The discussion and problem solving activity also holds the students accountable. It forces them to really pay attention to key parts of the video.]]> 2017-10-27 14:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204444 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204534 I like the pair work exercise in Dawber and Safrath's lesson that allowed the students to create a visual and written representation of their work. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:08:38 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204534 mmccarthy13 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204734 2017-10-27 14:09:02 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204734 sgarofalo2 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204815 I liked the homework assignment of pretending like you were the author to describe the theory he was developing. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201204815 mmccarthy13 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201205318 I like how the lesson puts the students into a real life situation. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:10:12 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201205318 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201205544 individual time to read / think, then build upon this in group dynamic is something I would like to do more of in my room. I tend to go from me talking / lecturing directly into groups, and I think some time to process on their own would allow students to come up with their own unique thoughts / responses before sharing those in group]]> 2017-10-27 14:10:36 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201205544 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201205617 In the Sparta/Athens lesson I liked the fact that they had to create something that reaveld a message.

Good student involvement. But, whatif the students don’t come up with the many points you had in your original objectives?
How do you handle that?]]> 2017-10-27 14:13:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201206926 sgarofalo2 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201207400 Analyzing poetry is very difficult and I think it’s a good exercise to find certain literary devices in a poem. There is nothing to memorize here but to recognize. That can be used in other courses that do not deal with memorizing facts. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:14:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201207400 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201207645 The lesson is dynamic and puts students in charge of their learning As opposed to the teacher spooning out information. ]]> 2017-10-27 14:14:50 UTC https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201207645 https://padlet.com/gotton/t9lx7iwhtqty/wish/201207894 Use of gif a good wayto  allow the students to be creative.
