Summarizing Strategies Locking in knowledge
Summarizing: • Student Review • Student Elaboration • Student Guided Practice • Student summarization is a learning strategy not a teaching strategy. • Distributed throughout a lesson - not just at the end
To be effective the student summarizes what they have learned. This is not the same as the teacher summarizing what they have taught!
Key Points - • All students participate • Allocate time – do not skip to “catch up” • Use feedback during summarizing to monitor student understanding • Frequent summarizing prevents misconceptions • Focuses on a key point of the lesson
Distributed Summarizing Strategies • Pair Share • Draw a picture • Guided practice with summarizing statements • Statement of understanding
Summarizing at the end of the lesson • Should answer the essential question • Can be informal or formal • Causes students to create a schema/ context for new knowledge and skills • Provides the teacher with information on skills that need to be re-taught
CulminatingSummarizing Strategies • The most important thing • 3 – 2 – 1 • Reflection Activities • Letter to absent student • End of lesson ticket • Culminating strategies should verify that students can answer the lesson essential question
Essential Question Design • Should be written in “student language” • Should include the skills and or vocabulary required to answer the question correctly • Lesson EQs should be more specific than unit EQs • Students should know what the EQ for each lesson and unit is before they start. • Refer back to unit EQs as students get pieces of the answer • The next EQ should build on the answers of prior questions and lead to the unit EQ
Nuts and bolts of writing EQs • Can you turn your objective/standard into an effective question? • What question would you ask at the end of a lesson to see if the students “get it” before moving on? • What questions will foster transfer? • Make sure: • The question does NOT have a yes/no answer • The question connects skills and content • Multiple part questions don’t need to be split into 2 separate questions. • KEEP IT SIMPLE
