The labels are strong agree, agree, disagree, and strongly disagree. The teacher calls out a fact or statement about the content the students have learned. Students then go and stand in the corner that matches their response. During this time, the teacher can create viable arguments with students who have answer incorrectly to help them better understand the material. ]]> 2018-03-02 22:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/arielmelton2019/z6u9ip1mcf5u/wish/237630266 arielmelton2019 https://padlet.com/arielmelton2019/z6u9ip1mcf5u/wish/237631288 This method gives the teacher a fun visual representation of what the students have learned.
