3. Mrs. Abel modelsWe do

5. Great for demonstrations Students can also model what they chose to test

7. “I can focus when I can see what is being talked about.” A visual reminder, not just a verbal explanation

8. Start with a model then student can explain further Call attention to detail

9. “Nokum is My Teacher” They could see words in Cree but listen in English. “Terry Fox” Allowed them to see pictures of what was being read.

10. Miras are almost impossible to model without a doc cam Can see details easily as a class “ You can put anything under it.”

11. Mrs. Abel gave a horrible example to practice as a class Students modeled editing parts of their letters while peers gave feedback

12. Actual models vs. Similar models Guest speakers used it too. “ We use it in every class. Other classes should too.”

13. Not just the end resultHow do I do that?

14. Students always give stars based on the co-constructed criteria Only the teacher gets to say a wish, unless the model says it is okay

15. Diagram of an EarIs my diagram complete?

16. Talk about what is good. How could we make this even better? Check your own over too.

17. Checking against criteria Makes us remember what else we might want to add in

18. Model recording questions and key words Students share work and compare with key words, then edit to improve

24. From simpleTo venturing out

25. Not everyone thinks like the teacher Kids know kids best

26. I show my friends and I explain better than what I put down. I can make mine better. My friends know how to make theirs better too.

27. Kids modelKids teach each other “ If you get a question wrong or you get stuck, others can do it with you.”

29. What makes their work so good? They want to do that too! “ It shows me how I can improve my work. For next time too.”
