Thank you for another great week at THE VIEW!!!!!! PLCS were awesome with fantastic discussion around building background knowledge and our new Brainingcamp math tools!
You know I LOVE brain research! I stumbled upon an awesome learning strategy that is backed by BRAIN SCIENCE!!!! HELLO!
ELABORATION!
This is all about our speaking and listening standards! Students are asked to explain and describe learning with as many details as possible!
This is a GREAT video about teaching speaking and listening strategies & the Handing off Routine!
By simply going beyond basic recall and encouraging students to make connections new learning will be cemented in the storage parts of the brain.
Remember these guys????? Well, let's get going on them! The Science of Reading is ALL about making connections and we want our students to connect to CONTENT & texts! Click the images to grab them for FREE!
Students should be engaging in open ended questions. They can answer with as many details as possible and then head back into check their thinking & elaboration!
Watch this video all about this learning strategy!
Students can engage in this type of questioning through large group class discussions.
I LOVE Gallery Walks for this and the FISHbowl!
Check out these 2 anchor chart to help students elaborate!
