A2. Number Talks, Visual representation (pictures, manipulatives etc) and Teach Me/Show what you know (videos, books etc)
A1 with Shakespeare & other plays, it's important to act it out! Scripts are meant to be heard & seen, not simply read
I don't know that one, what is that strategy?
What is considered an engaging instructional activity exactly?
A1 plus literacy is a catch all term. There are math literacies, electronics literacy and so on
Students show their work on whiteboards that surround the room. All on display https://t.co/FhQ9xlxlLH
I don't know that one, what is that strategy?
Where students have voice/choice and are engaged verse compliant.
