mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A1) Honestly, this is something I always work on; I give Ss choice over what they work on so they can control their own pace/day #6thchat

thedevineone Oct 3 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A1 I keep mini lessons short, sweet to the point. Students have studio time to work at their pace. #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:10 PM EDT

I love that word: studio! I have used it in writing before, but hearing it here makes me think of using it more broadly. #6thchat

In reply to @thedevineone

thedevineone Oct 3 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Yes, I use to call it workshop but it's evolved into studio. #6thchat

In reply to @mrskochheiser

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Question 2 is on the slide! #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:12 PM EDT

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Do you use the ghost feature on @GetKahoot ? #6thchat

In reply to @KamiMulzet

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Question 4 is on the slide! #6thchat

KamiMulzet Oct 3 @ 9:24 PM EDT

It works so well. I have a little metal bucket in the center and after they share a question or response, they take a shot. #6thchat

Such a powerful statement to keep front of mind when planning engaging lessons/activities! #6thchat

In reply to @thedevineone

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4) In writing, randomly hand Ss objects, words, or settings to weave into their stories; surprise elements add interest #6thchat

KMHundt Oct 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A4: picture books do a wonderful job at both of these- they are quick, but with so much to discuss and learn about. #6thchat

mrskochheiser - Moderator Oct 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

Easy! Great! #6thchat

In reply to @KamiMulzet

jlyons517 Oct 3 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3) making the learning relevant. #6thchat

KMHundt Oct 3 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Question 5: What examples do you have for "effective questioning strategies? #6thchat

KamiMulzet Oct 3 @ 9:34 PM EDT

So easy, but the excitement in the room is electric! It really is funny - a dollar store, metal bucket, but they all want in! #6thchat

In reply to @mrskochheiser
