There's more than one way to skin a cat

I spend time in our classrooms, I'm continually impressed with the lesson design that engages kids and demonstrates our collaborative spirit.  In the below pictures, you see 2 different teachers who have co-designed a station activity to build understanding and application of pronoun usage.  Notice, however, that despite the same stations, the implementation is unique to each teacher and all of the methods engage students in learning this necessary skill.

Classroom One:  teacher facilitates students to identify pronouns in their current book.

Classroom One:  Students apply their knowledge of pronouns with Post-It notes.

Classroom Two:  With the teacher, students read sections of the book and break down pronouns in each sentence, predicting before getting the answers.

Classroom One:  Students roll the dice to find out which pronouns to use.  One student creates a sentence while the group evaluates it.

Classroom Two:  Each student writes sentences before they each share and evaluate.

Classroom One:  Students divide pronouns and sort them based on their usage.

Classroom Two:  Students sort the pronouns and time themselves to build fluency of skill.

Both Classrooms:  Send an email with online links to practice pronoun use.

Both Classrooms:  Finding alternative resources.
