Brainstorming Charts
I thought the brainstorming charts we did this afternoon was such a good idea. Getting feedback gave me another perspective on how to look at the question. I also felt that I was making an important contribution when I commented on each of the charts. Some comments were suggestions of what I thought would work while others were ideas of what I've learned in professional development or my own classroom experiences themselves. I'm so surprised that the scented ("smelly") markers were such a huge hit in class today :). I use these on a regular basis in my own class when we do projects that lend themselves to the markers. They are fun to use.

I agree, Ethel. I think students will take many of these ideas to heart. Publishing their thoughts like this will make the task more important, as you say "making an important contribution," even though it's an informal writing assignment.
ReplyDeleteThe markers must be an elementary thing. Of course, the scented stickers never go out of fashion.
