Reading Response
Visual
Auditory
Using your notes, create a
PowerPoint (4-5 slides), timeline, or
concept map that helps us understand
the main ideas, crucial decisions, and
important people in the chapter.
•
•Using
your notes, create a 1-3 minute
news item that summarizes the
essential ideas, crucial decisions, and
people. You may tape or videotape
this, using your voice and others.
Oral
Kinesthetic
Using your notes, create a set of 5-8
open-ended questions that are
designed to be asked of the important
people in this chapter. The questions’
responses should reveal the big ideas,
crucial moments, and other important
people. You will be responder as
someone else reads at least two of the
interview questions.

Graphing with a Point and Slope
Visual
Given a point and slope, graph lines on
graph paper. Plot the given point in one
color, use a second color to show the rise,
and a third color to show the run from the
point. Plot the resulting point in a fourth
color. Repeat the same process to find the
third point on the line. Use a fifth color to
sketch the line containing all three points.
Kinesthetic
On a large grid on the floor, one student
stands at the original point. A second
student walks the rise and run from the
original point to the next point on the grid. ,
counting aloud while doing so. Another
student begins where the second student is
standing and repeats the process to find a
third point. Students repeat process until all
represent the points on the line. Then they
create the line by holding string between
them. They can then apply to a process
similar to the visual group.
Auditory
Graph several lines given initial points and
slopes. Create a news bulletin that explains
the process and implications of this type of
graphing.
