In the activity, the teacher may ask the students a particular question that relates to the lesson, or the teacher may ask the students to think about something important they learned and what they are still confused about. The students have to respond to the question(s) by writing down their answer(s) on a piece of paper. Once the students have written their response(s), they will crumble up the piece of paper and throw it carefully to the front of the class. The Snowball Activity is a great source that can give great feedback from each student. Their responses will allow the teacher to understand the strengths and weaknesses. The activity can inform the teacher on the areas of content they need to spend more time on discussing, so the students have a better understanding. ]]> 2018-03-08 00:22:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mayelavazquez/vd50pvb5ucg6/wish/239455982 mayelavazquez https://padlet.com/mayelavazquez/vd50pvb5ucg6/wish/239456195 Kahoot is an engaging and informative activity that students love.

The students have a few seconds to choose the correct answer. Once the time is up, the game will show the correct answer. The students can play Kahoot at home or in class.

Before starting the lesson, the teacher will ask the students what they want to learn during the lesson. The L stands for what I have learned. The last section is discussed after the lesson and activities. It can contribute to the closure. Students can receive a sticky note and write an important fact they learned. The K.W.L.
