I found the Power Notes strategy to be really useful. It is like mind mapping but (I think) more structured. I did end up using it in a lesson plan. The nice things about Power Notes is that they can be used for all subjects. Mind mapping I also used in a lesson plan, and I am using in a second one I am writing right now. I think it is a great way for students to take notes and keep organized. Utilizing a strategy that was not in the text (flipbooks) was also a lot of fun. I actually took the idea from the classroom that I volunteer in. It made it easier to create my own lesson having seen the flipbook in action. These three are all strategies that I would use in my classroom and will try to incorporate into my student teaching if I am able to.
I am glad I got to share my lesson over synonyms with you all before I teach it next week, which I am very excited about! If you have any feedback other than what was said in class, I welcome it.
I like your idea! I am jotting down any ideas I can find about strategies for future references of course! I have seen one of my teachers last year use a flipbook in their classroom and it seemed really fun and the kids enjoyed it!

ReplyDeleteI like the mapping strategy as well. I am finally getting the DOK's and strategies down and they come to me naturally when I am doing my lesson plans now. It was hard for me at first! I loved your lesson over synonyms, I think the students will love it!!
ReplyDeleteThe lesson you shared in class was great! I hope your presentation goes fabulous, which I am sure it will! :) I also present my lesson this week, but I didn't share the actual lesson in class that I will be presenting. I hope all goes well!
