ABC Brainstorm
•At the beginning of a lesson, write a topic on the chalkboard and then tell students to write as many words or phrases (beginning with each letter of the alphabet) that are connected to the topic as they can. •After individuals try, you may want to allow them to “give one, get one” from other classmates.

RIVET
•Choose 3-4 key terms from the reading.•In a “hang-man” fashion, write the word using dashes.•One by one, add a letter until the students guess the word.•Discuss its meaning.•Continue until all key words are revealed.•Students read to find these words in the passage.

Word Sorts•The teacher provides a list of words, phrases, and/or pictures from a text.•Students work alone or in partners to arrange the words in an order that makes sense.•Ask a few students “read” their “story” aloud.•Students or the teacher read the text, stopping mid-point to rearrange the words according to how they have been used up to that point in the text. •After reading the entire text, partners scramble the words and rearrange them in the order according to the author’s version of the story (as a summary).
•Word Sorts Example

Anticipation Guide•The teacher prepares a list of predictions for a passage and asks the students to respond to the predictions based on what they learn from the title, headers, and/or pictures. (Some of the predictions should be accurate, some highly probable, and others somewhat less probable.)•Students may work alone or in partners to answer “yes,” “no,” or “maybe” to the predictions. Tell the students to be prepared to give reasons for their choices.•Students read the text and check regularly for the accuracy of their guesses.•NOTE: Stress to the students that it is okay to guess incorrectly…good readers do it all the time.

Langston Hughes Biography
Langston Hughes was born in Missouri.
Hughes was an less-than-average student, but excelled in language arts.
Hughes became a sailor to earn money because his writing wasn’t supporting him.
His experiences in Africa and in nightclubs encouraged him to experiment with jazz and blues rhythms in his writing.
His work during the Harlem Renaissance made him rich and famous.

Cubing•Players take turn rolling the cube.•The player who rolls the cube begins by discussing the thinking question (TQ) that is face up.•While the TQ is discussed by all members of the group, the person who rolled the dice acts as the facilitator & summarizes the conversation before the next player rolls the cube.•Tip: To ensure individual accountability, each student works with a different colored pencil/marker to add to a group “web” of the concept being discussed. The web can be presented at the end of the discussion.•Variation: Use Fan N Pick rules.

Graphic Organizers•Graphic organizers…
are simple ways to organize information visuallyare nearly always appropriate because most people think in visual termscome in many forms; they are never right or wrong, only better or worse: some do a better job of presenting the same information than others.are not communicative, but conceptual: focus on using them as a way for students to learn, not as a way to express what they’ve learned to youare concept-driven: the form of the graphic organizer should follow its function, not vice versa.
A Lesson Cycle for Using Individual Graphic Organizers:Following a few simple steps will help your students get the most out of graphic organizers.
1. Familiarize yourself with the graphic organizer and the teacher notes (if any) for it.
2. Explain or review what graphic organizers are and why they’re worthwhile. Emphasize the importance of organizing information.
3. Present the specific graphic organizer. Point out its subject, its organizational framework, and the introduction, direction line, and questions.
4. Model using the graphic organizer. If the graphic organizer calls for them to choose its topic, provide them with options.
5. Assign the graphic organizer as an individual, paired, or group activity.
6. Review students’ work. Generate classroom discussion to extend individual student learning.
