Instructional Strategy

Get the gist:

During science we have been studying the three kinds of rocks. Our sharing was to share what you know about igneous rocks but you can only use 3 words. I told them it didn’t have to be a complete sentence, but rather 3 words that have to do with igneous rocks. Some students did a great job and showed me they could summarize what they remembered into 3 words. Others had a hard time only using 3 words and wanted to share more and some students used 3 words but they were about other kinds of rocks. I feel like this strategy was a high yield strategy because they had to summarize their notes into 3 important words. This was independent so I could tell who remembered key points about rocks and who could decipher what is important enough to share.
