Engaging Students in Learning

1. Engaging Students in Learning Bag Talk Presenters: Alaka Das Barbara Ferrante

2. Objectives • Participants will engage in learning activities that: • Promote student engagement • Provide “multiple entry points” for students • Encourage students to reflect on what they have done and what they have learned

3. “Sticky” Self- Assessment • 1. I can promote student engagement. • 2. I can provide multiple entry points for students. • 3. I can encourage students to reflect on what they have done and what they have learned.

4. Agenda • “Sticky” Self Assessment • “Bag Talk” with Addition Strategies • Problem Solving • “Bag Talk” with 3c • Implications for Instruction

5. Grade 2Addition StrategiesGo Math Unit 2 Chapter 4

6. Addition Strategies “Bag Talk” In Groups of 4: Choose a “strategy” card. Think about the addition strategy represented on the card. Take notes on the post-it behind the card. Take turns explaining the strategy to your group. (Be prepared to ask and/or answer questions about the strategy) Return cards to the bag.

7. Regroup with Base Ten Blocks

14. From Chapter 7 - Page 198Solve using at least 2 strategies One strategy you know very well and one you just learned from the bags

15. Solve using at least 2 strategies Share with a partner: 1. One strategy you used 2. Why you chose the strategy How the strategy helped you After Partners Share: Discuss with partner how the strategies you shared were alike and/or different Whole Group Share: Teacher chooses students to share (Scaffold)

16. Bag Talk How did “Bag Talk” help you solve the problem? At Your Table: 1. Discuss 2. Write your response on a post-it Place post-it on outside of the bag. (Write your name on back of post-it.)

17. Bag Talk About 3c In Groups of 4: 1. Choose a card. Reflect on the sentence or phrase (refer to the text and today’s learning) 3. Share your thoughts with your group. 4. Write a statement on a post-it that synthesizes all of your groups’ thoughts. 5. Sign your names on the post-it. 6. Place the post-it on the outside of the “Bag.”

18. How did today’s strategies “Engage” Students? (from 3c) 1. Students are developing their understanding through what they do. 2. A lesson usually has a discernible structure: a beginning, a middle, and an end, with scaffolding provided by the teacher or by the activities themselves. 3. Students are encouraged to reflect on what they have done and what they have learned 4. It isessential that students be challenged to be “minds-on.”

19. Implications for Instruction • What was the purpose of synthesizing the 4 statements and placing the post it on the bag? • How could you use today’s learning in your classroom? • How could you use “Bag Talk” with last week’s Close Read (“Eleven”)?

20. Revisit “Sticky” Self- Assessment • 1. I can promote student engagement. • 2. I can provide multiple entry points for students. • 3. I can encourage students to reflect on what they have done and what they have learned.
