1 Design Question #3 What will I do to help students practice and deepen understanding?

2 Design Question #3

3 Follows initial presentation of new content: 1. Review new content 2. Solve a problem/Answer a question 3. Use cooperative groups 4. Use similarities and differences by: Comparing and contrasting Comparing and contrasting Classifying Classifying Using analogies and metaphors Using analogies and metaphors Correcting errors in thinking Correcting errors in thinking Assigning homework for practice Assigning homework for practice Using academic notebooks Using academic notebooks

4 In what ways are you providing…

5 Strategy for In-Depth Learning Students compared and contrasted literary devices used in two short stories

6 Teacher and Peer Feedback Title:Author:Setting:Characters:Point-of-View:Theme: Additional devices (irony, symbol, foreshadowing, flashback, sensory details, character motivation, suspense):

7 Presentations: Similarities & Differences

13 Classify 2

14 Analogy graphic organizer  Thermometer is to temperature  Relationship measures incremental changes  As odometer is to distance

15 Analogy... 1. Clapping syllables is to encoding as chunking is to. 2. Rubric scores are to formative assessment as scaled scores are to. 3. Students will know and understand is to a declarative goal as Students will be able to do is to a. 4. RtI is to intervention as Guided Reading is to.

16 Analogy Continued... 5. Hypotheses are to science as Predictions are to. 6. Students will graph their data is to an activity as Students will understand their data is to a. 7. Previewing, skimming, making predictions and linking to schema are to interacting with new knowledge as examining similarities and differences, identifying errors in thinking and utilizing practice and HW are to. 8. Can you write an educational analogy?

17 Common Analogous Relationships AntonymsSynonymsAgeTime Part: Whole Whole Part Tool Its Action Tool user Tool Tool Object Its Used With Worker: product he creates Category Example Effect Cause Cause: Effect Increasing Intensity Decreasing Intensity Person – closely related adjective Person lease related adjective Math relationship Effect: cause Action. Thing Acted Upon Action. Subject Performing the Action Object or Place - It’s User Object: specific attribute of the object Male. Female Symbol what it means Classification/category. Example Noun Closely Related Adjective Elements Used Product created Attribute – person or object Object: Where it’s located Lack (such as drought/water – one thing lacks the other)

18 METAPHORS

19 Making A Sandwich Another Way To Say It Writing A Paragraph What are you hungry for? What kind of bread? What will I put in the sandwich that will make it tasty? Shall I add something to make it better? Pickles? Mustard? Banana slices? What is my goal? What will hold it together? What will go in the middle that will all go together? How can I make it even better? What is the topic of the paragraph? What will be my first and last sentences? What sentences do I need to help the topic of my paragraph? What can I do to make it more interesting or easier to understand? Adjectives? Detail?

21 Have Some Fun – Anything Can Be A Metaphor! AN APPLE a star (the birth place of energy on our planet) in the middle (the seed pattern makes a star if we cut it the right way) we must break the surface to get to the juicy good parts The outside doesn’t reveal what lies inside The apple becomes soft and mushy overtime The apple can be tart or sweet depending on its family background Its parts are used to create multiple products

22 is (are) a because Ask students to include something intangible, such as suspicion or an odyssey, in the first blank. The tangible comparison – a combination lock or an elliptical trainer – would fit in the second section. Ask the students to justify their choices: Ask the students to justify their choices: “Suspicion is a combination lock because it secures a possession’s well- being that cannot be assured through trust alone.” “Odyssey is an elliptical trainer because it has a beginning, middle, and end, and along the way, we encounter moments of endurance, doubt, despair, and elation, leaving comfort and returning again.”

23 “Pictures are the pillars that support meaning making, and we can use this visibility to our advantage as we attempt to make comprehension strategies obvious in our instruction.” -Terry Thompson, Adventures in Graphica: Using Comics and Graphic Novels to Teach Comprehension, Stenhouse Publishers, 2008

24 Design Question #3 What do I do to help students practice and deepen their understanding of new knowledge? 1.) Importance of long range retention of concepts or skills: In what ways do students compare and contrast information In what ways do students compare and contrast information give examples In what ways do students group or categorize information In what ways do students group or categorize information give examples In what ways do students demonstrate patterns or connections In what ways do students demonstrate patterns or connections give examples In what ways do you and students create metaphors In what ways do you and students create metaphors give examples In what ways do you and students create analogies to make connections In what ways do you and students create analogies to make connections give examples declarativedeclarative

25 Errors in Thinking Which one is it? 1. Faulty logic....You just don’t like me... 2. Attacks.... Arguing against a person... 3. Weak reference.... No basis in fact... 4. Misinformation.....

27 How soccer balls are made A soccer ball is made to kick fast and straight. Soccer balls are usually made in China, India, or Pakistan. Soccer balls are synthetic materials. Synthetic materials are made from oil. A lot of soccer balls we use are made from kids that are forced to make them. Some Indian kids instead of going to school or playing are paid 5 cents an hour to sew the balls including the ones that say “child-labor free” See http://laborrights.org/stop- child-labor.

35 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 1 All students need homework practice in order to reinforce skills presented in class.

36 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 2 Homework assigned at the elementary level correlates positively with student achievement gains.

37 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 3 Homework research clearly advocates for specific time parameters for each level of schooling. Homework research clearly advocates for specific time parameters for each level of schooling.

38 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 4 At the high school level, additional time spent on homework increases the likelihood for an increase in grades.

39 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 5 Teachers should encourage parents to become involved with their children’s homework.

40 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 6 Students should be assigned homework for the purpose of practicing a skill with which they have limited familiarity.

41 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 7 The effects of homework vary greatly depending on the feedback a teacher provides.

42 HOMEWORK STATEMENT 8 The purpose of homework practice is to deepen students’ understanding of the concept assigned for practice.

43 Format for homework that clarify purpose: Subject: Due Date: What I have to do tonight: Purpose of the assignment: What I have to already know or be able to do in order to complete the assignment:

44 Homework & Practice

45 When your child has worked hard but cannot complete the assignment in a reasonable time, and you are thinking about sitting down and helping her.... STOP. Get out a piece of paper and write the teacher a note.... Dear Ms. Curie, Sally has worked hard for one hour on this assignment and cannot complete it. I told her to stop and assured her that she had completed her homework for tonight. She doesn’t really understand how to read bar graphs yet so she can’t go on. Please let me know if there will be more instruction in class or if she needs to come in for extra help.

46 HOMEWORK Generalizations from the research: 1.The amount of homework assigned to students should be different from elementary to high school. 2.Parent involvement in homework should be kept to a minimum. 3.The purpose of homework should be identified and articulated. 4.If homework is assigned, is should be commented on.

47 What’s the purpose of homework? Practice Practice - Structured around familiar content - NOT Practice Makes Perfect but PERFECT Practice Makes Perfect. Preparation or Elaboration Preparation or Elaboration - Begin thinking about a concept before studying it in class studying it in class - After studying, ask students to elaborate.
