I remember a lesson I taught for Practicum where I had the students read a travel article out loud and I performed somewhat a QAR (Question Answer Relationship) strategy. I guess I already had a strategy in place mentally, just didn’t know it had an identifying name. I can see its usefulness my classroom.
I was able to use the first website that you mentioned above and I agree that there is a wealth of knowledge online. I am confident that with this assignment, we will be able to use them effectively in all of our classrooms.
ReplyDeleteSome of the strategies I found I was already using in my classroom too. I was delighted to find out that it was an actual strategy, not something I just made up.
ReplyDeleteI was the same way too. I only taught for a few months this last year, but to know that some of the things I was doing was real strategies made me feel like I was actually teaching. So, maybe we can handle this next year.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally true.For those that have used some strategies in their previous classes, a format was used only you didn't know it had a name.Thanks for the sites you shared, I see one that looks very familiar.
ReplyDeleteWell that is great to hear you have used some of the strategies because you guys have the natural talent to be teachers so pat yourselves on the back. Good job..
ReplyDeleteTo do something and know it was a strategy is amazing to know. Especially when you did it great and to learn more will benefit your teaching methods. Good JOb Teachers!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the strategies you found.
