ParticipantI love this, Angel. There is so much variety, and all kids have the opportunity to select the activities that will best suit them.
ParticipantI love this. It gives students so many options to to express what they’ve learned and then to take it to another level of deeper comprehension. Checklists, too! Nice work.
ParticipantReply To: 5.6 Choice Board Peer Review
Linked above is a copy of a choice board I used in AP Lang and Comp several years ago. The goal was for exam prep review for the Rhetorical Analysis writing portion of the AP Land and Comp Exam.
ParticipantFor one on one or small group instruction, a shared google doc has been extremely helpful for me in the past–especial for writing activities. I can prompt students through the necessary thinking process at their own ability level
ParticipantThe support of family members will be integral to the success of students in our new PACE virtual school. I think parents and guardians should have a defined role in every step of the process.
ParticipantKeeping track of each student’s need is my primary concern. I don’t want to miss any necessary support. I think building confidence in my students with diverse needs will go a long way. If nothing else, I hope students will at least have enough confidence to ask for help.
ParticipantDuring a summer school session, I had 31 students: 5 EL students, 8 students with IEPs with varying levels of accommodations, 2 advanced students, and the greatest number of apathetic students I have encountered. This was a huge struggle in multiple ways. I did my best to give each student the time and attention he or she needed, but during a truncated summer school session, I know that I had several fall through the cracks–especially those who were completely disinterested.
ParticipantYes, the beginning fundamentals of writing conventions are often missing from student work. I attribute much of this to the reliance on technology.
ParticipantI agree with you completely about the across the board gaps in the abilities to analyze and synthesize information. Writing as a learning tool has lost its necessary place in all classrooms.
ParticipantHELP ME MAKE THIS LESSON VIRTUAL
Peer editing sessions on rough drafts.
ParticipantYou could assign specific roles within your groups and include a rubric to show what they must do to earn the most points. For creating a poster, or really any sort of collaborative project, you could have them create a doc in google and share with everyone in the group. They can use the drawing feature on docs to pull in images and to manipulate texts.
ParticipantYou can have them use the Drawing feature (under Insert on google docs). I actually just found this at the end of this past year, and it honestly has so many options. It’s not “drawing” like you would think. They can pull in and manipulate images from the web or those they’ve created on their own. LOTS of room for creativity here.
ParticipantI teach high school English. My very favorite activity it to gather my students in a circle and discuss a line or event in a text that we are reading. I like to ask kids to bring something up from our assigned reading and to share their thoughts on its impact. One way or another, I lead the discussion to a point where I can ask students to apply the lines or events universally. Even if classmates don’t have much to say about another student’s interpretation of a line or event, they all join in when we arrive at the universality of an issue.
ParticipantI agree with this, too. The kids know real.
ParticipantI’ve seen you do this, Jackie. It’s a great activity. You are so good at making students feel comfortable and confident enough to engage.
