We can add another wonderful strategy to our teacher 'toolkit', sketch to stretch. Despite my fear of drawing and embarrassment of my utter lack of artistic talent, I actually enjoyed the activity. I think students will enjoy the activity, particularly since they own their sketch/interpretation of the reading selection. It was enlightening to examine the sketches of my classmates and listen to their interpretation of the passage. I also appreciate the
Where Text Meets Tech power point presentation. The resources included in the presentation appear to be full of valuable information and strategies to promote life long literacy in the classroom.
The sketch to stretch is a great activity to do with our future students. It brings out their creativity and makes them think.
ReplyDeleteI think the students will gain a lot from the sketch to stretch activity. Like they say, a picture paints a thousand words.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the activities were fun and engaging. Also, the powerpoint gives us helpful tips for our interdisciplinary unit :)
