Peer Review Questions - When you were creating your clicker grid, what template did you use? How did the students access the template across the network? - Did you think about making the pull-tabs sound recordings instead of text? - How could you “hook” the students at the beginning of the lesson with real-life examples? - Could you use the Vortex feature (Lesson Activity Tool-kit) to give students feedback on incorrect lessons? - You could bring in authentic text to the smartboard and have students identify quotation marks (I spy game)?

Janice, at one time you left a message and I responded. Where did all of that go??? Does it not stay on this page? Did I respond correctly? I didn't have an edit option, only a post. I moved these messages from the history page I think. They were under our old name so that may be why they weren't showing up here.

Hi TRI-Reports, Interesting team name....what is the focus of your group's work? What curriculum expectations will you be targeting in your lesson? Let us know if you need any assistance as you work through your lesson study. Janice  Posted Yesterday 4:35 pm || I will give this a third try. It is typing under the google sidebar and driving me crazy. We have changed our name to The Clickers. We are doing procedural writing 1.5 on writing instructions on how to make a fortune teller. It will be the 3rd lesson. First we chose to sequence existing instructions using either pictures, words, or both. My kids are getting good at assessing the best way in which they learn. They still weren't confident so someone suggested we watch a video. Still not ready so THEY ASKED if someone could MODEL it. Love the language they are picking up. A student expert modelled it and they still weren't sure so they asked if they could watch a better video and if I could pause it as they worked with their fortune tellers. Now they feel they are ready. We wrote up our procedure for learning how to write it and they ended the last step with finally. Little do they know that tomorrow, when we video they will have one more activity to do on the smartboard. We will have two students on Clicker (hence our name) and a couple on Danas. I am very nervous about being taped but I feel you only grow from doing things that scare you. I really wish we could all watch how the lesson goes with each other but c'est la vie! Here's hoping I did this message correctely.
