Anchor activity

vsmith23_1 — 2024-03-18 03:48:40 UTC

Students do an anchor activity which is what the students do when they first come in and are part of their daily routine. This is usually an "i reading" activity.

Assess Students

A pop quiz or exit slip is used to gauge how the lesson went and to find out whether or not there were questions or gaps.

Modify based on students' needs

For ELL or students below grade level, small groups are usually enacted to help students understand or if give them a paper based lesson instead of computer.

Questions

vsmith23_1 — 2024-03-18 04:02:00 UTC

Questions I have going forward are:

What activities can be used for students far below grade level in the junior high setting
Are activities changed or lessons altered if students do not pass their assessments?
What can other students do so they don't get distracted during one on one or small group instruction at this grade level.

Lessons I Learned

Lessons I have learned:

You need to assess students for baseline
concept of anchor activities
It's okay to work with students 1 on 1
