Session 10


 * Session 10.1 Opener**

Brainstorming as you begin a new topic or section. Scramble Essays in which we bring different vocab. words and themes together to write creative essays. "Constructive Wheels" - using a wheel structure with spokes and attached parts to the spokes. Venn Diagrams to compare and contrast.

Mind mapping or similar teaching strategies help break down information, organize thoughts and ideas and assess prior knowledge. We utilize them in pre, during and post readings. We have yet to use any technological tools to assist us.


 * Session 10.2 Bubbl.us**

media type="custom" key="10293795"

The Bubbl.us tool is certainly something I can use in my classes. We outline our thoughts in various styles ( Wheels and Spokes, Other Graphic Styles and Venn Diagrams) This technology tool can be more fun and cleaner in presentation and clarity. The only challenging part was getting used to the many ways the colors can be changed and arranging it in a organized manner. That is why I kept mine as simple as possible. I can see my students effectively using it and having fun doing it.
