Ideas to increase student engagement help : • -promote student learning and academic achievement • -learning becomes active rather than passive • -increase student retention • -increase motivation • -help students develop oral communication skills • -develop students’ social skills • -promote self-esteem

  3. Turn and Talk • Turn to your neighbor and see if he or she agrees with the statement I have written on the board. • If there is a disagreement, how can you use the information in the text (or from homework) to support your thinking. • How you solved a problem/arrived at conclusion, etc.

  4. Think-Pair-Share • Students have individual think time. • Pair up and exchange thoughts. • Share with other pairs, teams or class.

  5. Write-Pair-Strengthen • Students write silently about a topic. • Pair up and share. • Write how your thinking changed based on your conversation with your partner.

  6. Talk a Mile a Minute • Turn to your partner and tell them -everything you know about… -everything you heard me say in last 10 minutes -questions you still have about…

  7. Talking Chips • Each student in a group of 4 or 5 receives one talking chip (pen, pencil, eraser). • Students are given an open ended question/discussion topic. • In order to share, the student puts their talking chip in the center of the group. • When first student finishes, next student puts in talking chip, etc. • Cannot speak until everyone has added to discussion. • Start again.

  8. One Minute Game • Divide the class into teams of 5 or less. • Have each group contemplate answers to these questions, giving them 1 minute to answer: -What was the main thing you learned today? from this section of the text? -Tell me two questions that you have remaining about this lesson. -What else would you like to know about this topic?

  9. Shape Summary • Done independently first • Shared with partner/group *Write one thing that squared with your beliefs or one thing you reconnected with. *Questions still “circling” in your head. *Three most important points.

  10. Note Pass • Students write a summary paragraph answering the Essential Question. • Notes are exchanged with a partner. • Partner responds to the accuracy of the answer.

  11. Connect/Exclusion Brainstorming • Teacher writes topic and a series of words/phrases connected to the topic except for one or a few words not related. • Students work in pairs or teams to exclude the words not connected and explain why the words are not related and why other words are connected.
