37. Student Engagement: Examples and non-examples sorts for every subject area
Welcome to week one of our Short And Sweet Summer episodes! Each week I'll share one quick-win engagement strategy for your third through sixth grade classroom, along with a brain dump of ways YOU can use it!
These SASS-y episodes are great for a quick listen while running errands, or to save up for a big binge on your upcoming flight or road trip!
💡Today is all about concept attaintment - a way of getting students to think deeply about the content you will be studying, before you even tell them what it is! These example and non-example sorts can be done with no fancy materials, using photographs or clip art printouts, or even with tangible objects. I promise you will pique student interest, get them curious about the unit or lesson ahead, and give them an anchor to which they can connect learning with as you move forward. Ready to make that learning stick? Let's jump in!
*I origninally learned this strategy from one of my favorite PD books in my credential program, 50 Strategies for Active Teaching: Engaging K-12 Learners in the Classroom. This book is worth 10 times it's weight in gold, and has strategies for every stage of your units! (P.S. This is not an affiliate link, I just truly love this book!)
