  6. There are many ways to engage your students including: • Learning Stations • Cooperative Grouping • Self Assessment • Use of materials and resources • Use of technology • Use of manipulatives

  7. Learning Stations • Learning stations are areas within the classroom where students work alone or interact with one another, using instructional materials to explore and expand their literacy. It is a place where a variety of activities reinforce and/or extend learning, often without the assistance of the classroom teacher. It is a time for students to practice reading, writing, speaking, listening, and working with letters.

  8. Cooperative Grouping • Students of various learning abilities share responsibilities while working together to complete a task. • They are responsible for their own learning.

  9. Cooperative Group Jobs • Leader – keep everyone on task and make sure everyone participates and understands • Recorder – takes notes and keeps all the work together • Reporter - presents their groups’ work or discussions to the class • Monitor – watches the time • Material’s Manager – collects materials

  10. Elementary Example for Discussion Hooway for Wodney Wat By: Helen Lester • Read book aloud to students. Put students into groups of 5. Have students add another “page” to the story. Tell what happened to Camilla Capybara and Wodney.

  11. Middle School Examplefor Discussion Animal Farm By: George Orwell • After reading book together as a class, put students into groups of 5. Have students find a part of the story they would change. What changes would you make and why?

  12. High School Example for Discussion The Scarlet Letter By: Nathaniel Hawthorne • After reading the book as a class, put students into groups of five. Have each group choose a scene from the book, write a script, and act out it out.

  13. Self Assessment • Allows students to develop the critically reflective thinking required for understanding their own learning. • It can increase self confidence. • It helps students create relevance and meaning from their education.

  18. Counters Erasers Digi-blocks Coins Buttons DVD players Magnetic Letters Calculators Protractors Rulers Globes/maps Dry erase boards Manipulatives

  19. The Learning Pyramid for Engaging Students

  20. Conclusion • Engaging all learners is essential. Teachers are encouraged to strive for development of lessons that are engaging and motivating for a diverse class of students. Vary tasks within instruction as well as across students. In other words, an entire session for students should not consist of all drill and practice, or any single structure or activity.
