Body Match Review Students are given cards with a term, description,
picture related to concept; an analogy with response; problem and solution; historical event…. Move around classroom to match their card with the correct response (body). Once all matched, rest of the class assesses each with thumbs up or thumbs down and teacher poses questions
Are you with me on this?

Clothesline A statement is announced and students take
a stand on an imaginary line which stretches from one end of the room to the other
1. Students line up without talking2. Students listen to similar points of view
(those standing next to them in line)3. Value line is folded, and then they play
“Talking Chips” or another communication skill structure.
4. Examples: Agree/Disagree/which would you rather be/birthdays/heights/alphabetical order
Ideas for my class?

ValueslineSocial Studies examples: The killing of innocents is never justified The United States made the correct decision
in dropping the bomb on Nagasaki. The bombing of Dresden was an act of
terrorism.

Talking Chips Each student has one “talking chip.” Students place their chip in the center of the
team table each time they talk. Students can speak in any order, but cannot
speak a second time until all chips are in the center.
When all the chips have been placed (everyone has spoken), the chips are all collected and anyone in any order can speak again.
When groups complete task they high 5.Ideas for my class?
![Page 11: “ ARE YOU WITH ME SO FAR?”: STRATEGIES FOR CHECKING FOR UNDERSTANDING](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081520/568161a6550346895dd16347/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Send a Problem In your newly formed groups, brainstorm a good
caption for the cartoon taped to the envelope. The cartoon deals with the environment or globalization.
Once you reach consensus write your answer on the index card and place it inside the envelope.
The envelope is then passed clockwise to the next group. Each group brainstorms for 3 minutes on the cartoon they receive without reading the previous group's work and then place their solutions inside the folders.
This process continues until all four groups have made their guesses.

And the answer is…. Cartoon A: Toxic Waste
“Don’t tell me where to put it. Just so long as you get rid of it.”
Cartoon C: Smokestacks“One day all this will be outsourced.”

your classroom?

White BoardNumbered Heads Together
Staying in your same group number off by 1, 2, 3, 4. . If one group is smaller than the others have no. 3 answer for no. 4 as well.
Put your “heads together” and write the letter of the answer on the white board for the questions that follow.
I will ask for an answer by calling a number. The students with the number called holds up the white board.
