#sstlap Best moment was hearing that a few Ss totally cheated & bing-watched the next several episodes of a Korean drama we watched

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 14 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 Engaging lessons peak ss curiosity and interest-get ss involved in learning. To be engaging needs to be of value & interest to ss #sstlap

A1 You need to hook Ss into the lesson by making it meaningful and exciting to them!! Show your enthusiam for it to them! #sstlap

STLinOK Apr 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

KiplingEric Apr 14 @ 9:13 PM EDT

@Ryan7Read great to see you my friend- hope all is well #sstlap

jmadlin001 Apr 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1 I think sharing clear objectives, but giving Ss choice in how they show what they learned. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2 most engaging were simulations, skits or torture device lecture-ss were interested, curious, doing or a good story told w/passion #sstlap

CHitch94 Apr 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A2) Feel like broken record but simulations usually got Ss fired up, music, collborative work where they had to produce something. #sstlap

Ryan7Read Apr 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@Braz74 yes just very busy day and @edcampchicago on Saturday #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 14 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@mhoeckelman glad you mention hooks there is a question on that coming up #sstlap

@Braz74 Thank you! I was very proud of them! Ss can't wait to take them home and have their families play! #sstlap

A3) Lecture where I can't think of better way to get necessary info across for topic I can't find good story for. #sstlap #histteacherprob

STLinOK Apr 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Hands down - standardized test booklet instructions. They are SO betrayed that the rules are followed to a T. It is what it is #sstlap

NKleinmeyer Apr 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Worst lessons are the ones I think will work because, "That's how I was taught." Forgetting I hated it too. #sstlap

scottmpetri Apr 14 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@Braz74 That's the final part of the plan. Ss write and record their narratives next week. Vets will listen. #sstlap

FHS_Anton Apr 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A3: Worst lessons are ones where you HAVE to get in the DOK 1 stuff instead of having s's think toward answer for test prep purposes #sstlap

CHitch94 Apr 14 @ 9:26 PM EDT

@dragonmark_101 That is so true. What works w/ one group of Ss often doesn't work as well w/ another group. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A3 the list is too long.. lots of non-ticket not engaging lessons- Me giving notes, sit and get, no passion or purpose #sstlap

STLinOK Apr 14 @ 9:27 PM EDT

All depends on the current crop of Ss. Key is "will this work for THEM" #sstlap https://t.co/SYzzLXVcRz
