Chicago Instruction: Text - Jigsaw the Multiple Intelligences
Chicago Instruction: Text - Jigsaw the Multiple Intelligences 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?
