Before Learning Strategies
  • Journaling
  • Quick Quiz
  • Bell Ringers
  • KWL

Journal Entry
  • Tell me what is your all time favorite book.
    Why? How old were you when you read it? Why do
    you think it has stayed with you so long?
  • My favorite book is Harry Potter and the Order
    of the Phoenix. I read it when it first came out
    a few years ago when I was 11 years old. I was
    so excited for it to come out and I loved it!
    The reason I enjoyed it so much was because of
    the mystery, suspense, bad guys, good guys and a
    happy ending. I just couldnt put it down. I
    read it morning, noon and night until I was done.

Quick Quiz
  • Name some of the things you should look at to
    really understand a story?
  • Possible answers might include
  • About the author
  • Style
  • Time period
  • Education
  • Family
  • Credibility

5
  • Title of the story
  • Attention getter
  • Intent of the piece of writing
  • Mood
  • Hint of theme
  • Elements of Fiction
  • Setting ? tone, style, irony
  • Plot ? characters
  • Theme ? symbolism
  • Point of view

6
Bell Ringers
  • Have small groups of students answer a question
    or do an activity to get them thinking at the
    beginning of class.
  • For example, in a 7th grade Biology class
    students were asked to determine what the object
    they had been given was, label its parts and
    define each of those parts.

7
Bell ringer for Biology
  • What is the object?
  • - Sheeps brain
  • Name the different parts of what you see.
  • - Cerebellum, Medulla, Cerebrum
  • What do they do?
  • The Cerebellum
  • The Medulla
  • The Cerebrum

8
What do you know? (KWL)
  • Ask the class to discuss what they know about a
    given topic.
  • What do you know about how laws are made?
  • Lawmakers put them up for a vote and the
    President can veto the law if he does not agree
    with it.

9
While Learning Strategies
  • Concept Mapping
  • Timelines
  • SQ3R
  • Story Mapping or Plot Graph
  • Illustrating or Foldables
  • Word Wall

10
Concept mapping
11
Foldables
  • Foldables give students the opportunity to
    demonstrate the knowledge they have gained on a
    topic. In these examples students were expected
    to draw 5 pictures, give 5 facts, and use 5
    colors.

12
Word Wall
  • Even in our own classroom the word wall is a
    great resource for recalling all the strategies
    weve learned. A word wall or linguistic link
    chart is a valuable tool for helping students to
    dissect the meaning of words and to related other
    elementally similar words to prefixes, root words
    or suffixes commonly seen in varied subject areas.

13
Timelines
  • Timelines help students to organize complex
    details in areas such as History, Language Arts
    and Biology. In this example the student has
    used a timeline to illustrate key concepts in her
    History class. The sections pictured are only a
    fraction of an entire years worth of work.

SQ3R

  • This strategy helps students to analyze what
    they are reading for better comprehension.

After Teaching Strategies
  • What Have I Learned (KWL)?
  • Exit Tickets
  • Post Lesson Journal Entry
  • Graffiti Board

17
What Have I Learned (KWL)?
  • Have students write down one thing they have
    learned in class and any questions they might
    have.
  • I learned that the Germans killed the Jews in
    concentration camps. I still want to know about
    secret German technology.

18
Exit Tickets
  • In this strategy students reflect on what they
    have learned during that days lesson.
  • Q What are some of the elements of fiction
    discussed today?
  • A Plot, Irony, Symbolism, Theme, etc

19
Post Lesson Journal Entry
  • After a review of the elements of fiction ask
    students to rewrite 1 element of fiction from
    Goldilocks and the Three Bears. How does this
    effect the story and its outcome? Be as specific
    as you can in the little amount of time you have.
    (In this example the setting has been changed.)
  • Golden is walking through an inner city
    neighborhood and finds herself increasingly tired
    as she wander the streets looking for a Grillz
    shop called the Ice Shop. She just cant take
    another step.
  • Suddenly a modest Brownstone looms before her.
    Golden knocks on the door and the door just
    swings open. See goes inside to ask for help

20
Graffiti Board
  • This strategy helps students to represent
    knowledge using imagery.
