5-3-1 SUMMARIZATION
Do your students need help with identifying key ideas from a lesson? Elsa Glover will walk you through a strategy that acts as a guide for summarization. Using this method opens the door for student to think critically, collaborate, and comprehend what they have learned!
MYSTERY BOX
Who doesn’t love opening a mystery box? This strategy from Faye Licari has students examine a selection of objects and predict how they are relevant to the lesson. It’s a fun, interactive activity that sparks curiosity in your classroom!
TABLEAU
Students can create “living pictures” with this strategy from Jordan Eggleson. By acting out what they learn through poses and expressions rather than words, your students can think differently and work together to understand the concepts of most lessons!
