Reading, Rapping, and Mapping

You might think that I'm referring to MAP testing, but nope!  I'm talking about geography skills and all the other great learning that is happening in 6th grade this week.  Check it out!

Students present their learning to the class in science, designing a Kahoot to engage their peers.

How low can you go?  Students meet in a small group to ensure mastery of the lowest common denominator. 

Students are differentiated into math groups to work at their level.  In this case, students practice the concept with manipulatives.

As groups work together, the teacher leads one to ensure mastery of the concept.

As students read, they continue to annotate, making note of important sections of the book.

As students give presentations in science, students are held accountable for learning the material presented.

Those science presentations again....

What a great idea!  As students write, they are given a template to organize their thinking. This template easily wipes clean for the next student to use.

Students collaborate to summarize main ideas and other learning objectives in visual form.

Students lead learning in a small group.

The roll of the dice determines what students learn - this is a fun way to "gamify" learning.

Stations:  Students plan a game to demonstrate their knowledge of the US.

Stations:  Students are RAPping.
