WHO has TIME for ACTIVITIES??? Us, that’s who! Sometimes we just have to make it a priority, like Brennan and Dale in Step Brothers (hopefully with better success;). I’m going to cut to the chase, because let’s face it…we are running out of summer vacay, and we need some quick ideas to use in our classes. These activities are courtesy of John Antonetti’s Power of Student Engagement session, and this is the final part of my blog series about this particular PD day. Here we go.......... First Activity…this one is great for kids AND adults…maybe a great one for a school or district-wide PD session…
Second Activity – I’ll call this the Oddball Out.
Third Activity - The New Zoo (this is one of my favorites)…
Fourth Activity – Japanese Poster Method (This is actually a method that can be modified to an activity you already use)
Fifth Activity – Say What?
Sixth Activity – How Much Carpet?
Seventh Activity – “GRANT”ing Wishes
So there you have it...seven activities that hopefully spark some ideas about how to find ways to lead your own students into a deeper understanding and MAKING SENSE of the concepts they are learning. Thanks for sticking with me throughout this three-part series. Coming next...innovative learning spaces (including makerspaces)...and I cannot wait to share my experience (and resources) with YOU!!! Yours truly, Sheri
