Extension (from the Infused Classroom) Step 1: students work alone to reacall everything they remember about the topic/unit/story/book. This should be done without notes! Step 2: students work collaboratively to compare their own notes and work on one product to share out. Step 3: students can use notes from eariler/books to add to their collaborative notes (tip: add these in a new color) Step 4 (tech twist!): students record a video together without their notes detailing what they know

ELA:

• vocabulary: post a word and have students add examples/non examples
• vocabulary: post word and have students use word in a sentence
• comprehension: have students write main idea/details; summary; etc. of passage

• post problem and have students show mutiple ways to solve
• post problem and have students answer, then another group offers feedback

• post 2-3 questions about how students can use concept learned
• draw picture/sketch of concept

The power here comes from students creating the questions! Tip: put students in pairs/smaill groups and have each group write 1-2 questions. After making sure the questions are correct, put the questions around the room and do a Gallery Walk! Tech Twist: have students create their quizzes in Google Slides, then share the student's Slide with the class and play as a group!

Extension Ideas: (from the Teacher Toolkit) Compare and Contrast 3-2-1 Record three similarities between two items, two differences, and one question they still have Reading 3-2-1 Record three of the most important ideas from the text, two supporting details for each of the ideas, and one question they have about each of the ideas. Pyramid 3-2-1 Create a triangle and divide it into three sections horizontally. In the bottom section, the students record three things they learned for the day. In the middle section, the students record two questions they have. In the top section, the students describe how the information learned is applicable to their everyday lives. Academic Vocabulary 3-2-1 Partner Work: First, have students speak with a partner. Provide the structure for 3 minutes of conversation using targeted academic language. Then, ask students to write 2 sentences using the language. Finally, have students read 1 paragraph which contains the targeted vocabulary. .

Ideas

• Add interactivity and movement to reviewing multiple choice questions. The four corners would be A, B, C, D. While they're at their quadrants, students need to rationalize their answer.
• Reviewing something that isn't multiple choice? Make each quadrant a different strategy and have students choose a strategy to share!

Extentions:

• have students leave feedback for each other using blue markers for postives and green markers for suggestions (colors can be of your choosing!)
• have students work in pairs for collaborative conversations

Extension: Use the Sketch and Tell eduprotocol to incorporate partner work and writing skills!
