Riddle, Chapter 1

Reading this chapter gave me a list of things to remember.
The list is:
1. Use images to retell stories.
2. Students find excitement when they connect to what they are reading.
3. Visual elements help students remember what they have read.
4. Graphic organizers are a good way to organize thoughts and provide a way to visually record what's been read/learned.
5. Not everyone will answer things the same and that is what makes it possible for students to share what they know and learn new things from their classmates.
6. It is important to have 100% of students involved.
Several of these things I do on a regular bases in my classroom and will continue to do throughout this school year but some I have not used as I should. I plan on take these 6 items and enforce/reinforce them this school year. I want to do all I can to help students learn and I think these items will help that happen. Let the learning begin!
