Evidence
Quick Write
• Ask students to write for a short amount of time (3-5 minutes)
on a given topic (can be a phrase or question or word).
• This is an independent activity.
• Students write constantly, stream of consciousness style for
the entire time.
• The room is quiet or there is music playing; students are not
talking with each other.
Metacognition frame
• I know that I know something about
____________________________.
• First,____________________________________________
_________________________________________.
• In addition,__________________________________
_____________________________________________.
• Finally,__________________________________________
_________________________________________.
• Now you know what I know about
______________________________.

Reflection
• Take three minutes to write the most significant
learning for you today.
• Turn and share with a partner.
Empty Outlines (Cloze procedure)
• Distribute a partially completed outline of
today’s lecture (or a text) and ask students to
fill it in.
• Useful at start or at end of class.
Concept Mapping
• Students write keywords onto sticky notes and
then organize them into a flowchart. Could be
less structured: students simply draw the
connections they make between concepts.
Human Tableau or Class Modeling
• Groups create living scenes (also of inanimate
objects) which relate to the classroom
concepts or discussions.
• Can be used to illustrate a part of a text,
novel, etc (Jeffrey Wilhelm).
Telescoping Images
• Craft sets of index cards that are to be grouped
together by theme, and randomly pass them out for
students to seek the other members of their new
groups.
• Can be used to form new groups or to introduce or
review a topic.
• Example: one set of four index cards has pictures of
Europe on a map, then France, then the Eiffel Tower,
then a person wearing a beret (thematically, the
images “telescope” from far away to close up, and the
students must find others in their particular set of
telescoping images).
Total Physical Response (TPR)
• Students either stand or sit to indicate their
binary answers, such as True/False, to the
instructor’s questions.
• Or this can refer to physical movement/acting
out a concept. (
• For example: Using body movements to
understand parts of a globe.
Pass the Chalk
• Provide chalk or a stuffed toy or ball; whoever
has it must answer your next question, and
they pass it on to the student of their choice.
