Golden Rule of Teaching:

Never tell people what they already know. Have them tell you.

Instruction: Text - Jigsaw the Multiple Intelligences

Jigsaw:

• Great for large pieces of text

• Text has to be just at or a little below grade level understanding

• Groups take a section of the text, read to understand and then present to the class, teacher adds important information

• Within your team, read the definitions of your assigned category (analytic, introspective, interactive)

• As a group, discuss the types of activities that a student who fits into your category would need to be able to fully engage in your presentation

• Create a poster showing your ideas

Chicago

Instruction: Text

Other text-based ideas:

• Collaborate: Give each member of a group of three a role: reader, summarizer, checker (did the summarizer do a good job of summarizing?). Have them switch roles regularly.

• Post-It! Use those handy sticky notes to keep kids engaged in the text. Give them a stack of stickies to write down questions, thoughts, new vocabulary words, or answers to questions. They can then post their stickies to a poster hung somewhere in the room. Discuss the answers.

Chicago

Assessment

How do you know what your students learned?

• Independent, small group, whole class

• Remember the Multiple Intelligences (draw, write, sing, act out, dance, create an instruction manual, journal, one-on-one with the teacher)

• Post-its are your friend

• *Every* class ends with some sort of assessment
