Q-H-T
Each person should label their 3 Post-Its with:
Q (questions) H (heard of) T (teach)
Then, turn to page 2 of your SpringBoard.
Find the academic vocabulary and literary terms.
Put those words on
Q for words you have questions about
H for words you have heard of, but don’t know more
T for words you know so well you could teach them (and be prepared to teach them!)
Once you have all the terms on your Post-Its, put the Post-Its on the giant Q-H-T posters where they belong.
