Every week we play “My Teacher Said a Word and This is What I Heard” with common mistakes in weekly spelling words that the class has to fix! We correct, spell orally 3x, sky write 3x, then write on paper 3x. @MV_Knights @trtomasko #MVRe-Energized 📝

Sometimes the best way to help students understand a rubric is to have them grade responses. 1. Type up anonymous student responses. 2. Students grade the responses. 3. Discuss scores. I have seen large increases in productivity after trying this. @MV_Knights #MVReEnergized

Claim-Evidence-Reasoning: a method used to strengthen our analysis of history/writing skills. We started with an annotated article & created/revised an essay. Today, we formed teams & debated the topic: should we celebrate Columbus Day? @MV_Knights @AshleyMN2014 #MVReEnergized

After learning about map basics in Geography, students created maps of their own. They came up with their own question sets/answer keys based on their maps. Today, students rotated in groups to answer peer made question sets by reading the maps. 🗺 @MV_Knights #MVReEnergized

A few photos from our Hungry Hungry Hippo simulation. Students were divided into pairs and raced to answer HIPPO chart questions related to annotated documents. Students applied their knowledge to make connections and analyze. @MV_Knights @AshleyMN2014 #MVReEnergized #APUSH 🦛

Today, APUSH students annotated primary source documents and used the HIPPO method to analyze. Afterwards, students completed a hexagon activity to make as many connections to the content/HIPPO chart as possible. We had some great discussions. #MVReEnergized #APUSH @MV_Knights
