Last night I participated in a webinar given by Silvia Rosenthal Tolisano (@langwitches). The two main takeaways were that it is important to establish and give out class jobs or tasks and that there are different ways to take notes. So I tried to implement some of what I learned into today’s Chumash lesson.
I put the following jobs/tasks on the board:
1 Note Taking- writing down key points
2 Note Taking- making illustrations
3 Writing down key vocabulary words
4 Writing down new or hard vocabulary words
5 Editors- would take the notes and edit them
By pulling names out of a cup I assigned the students the different jobs. At the end of the lesson each one submitted their work and the note takers agreed to take the edited version and post in on our kidblog website.
By assigning tasks all the students were involved in the lesson and focused on what was going on in class.
Once again Kitah Hay you did an amazing job.
