Today we started off with another visual thinking exercise using all the reading strategies we have learned to synthesize and evaluate in order to deepen our understanding of the text. I was amazed with the engagement student shown during the exercise. Students were able to sit, think and write for over 30 minutes with near 100% engagement. When finished students categorized all their thinking by reading strategy and then put everything together to come up with their big idea of the text. It was amazing! |
