Description:
Post your standards for the up coming grading period on the wall. Give each student several Post-it® Notes. Have the student list things they know/think they know about each standard. Use their answers to help plan furture lessons. I repeat the activity at the end of the unit to see what they have learned.
Instructions:
Step 1: Post your standards/topics for the up coming grading period on the wall. I use the Post-It Easel Chart.
Step 2: Give each student several 3X3 Post-It notes. I use a diferent color for each standard/topic.
Step 3: Have the students list things they know/think they know about each standard. Everyone does not have to place something on every board.
Step 4: Take student answers into account as you make future lesson plans, being sure to hit any misconceptions hard.
Afterwards:
Objective: Gain insight to what the students know about a given standard/topic. Often a topic can be review verses completely re-teaching so the students don't loose interest. Makes for fewer behavior problems when the students aren't bored.
Lesson Extensions: Repeat the activity at the end of the unit to see what they have learned.
Supporting All Learners: No names are used, so even if a student places a misconception on the chart they are anonymous. Everyone does not have to place something on every board.
Assignment/Home Connection: Use misconceptions as poject/report starters for students to take charge of their learning and "teach" their classmates.
