How to use A-E-I-O-U
Materials:
video segment or chapter in a book or novel
Paper
Writing tool
1. Preview the video segment (chapter) and select appropriate points at which to pause for students to jot notes.
2. Show video segment or have students read the chapter. Important: As students watch the video or read, do NOT have them take notes. If they look down to take notes, they will be missing content. Assure them you will pause the video every few minutes for them to jot down their thoughts related to the following categories:
A = Adjective: List a word or two that describes something you saw or learned.
E = Emotion: Describe how a particular part of the segment made you feel.
I = Interesting: Write something you found interesting about the content/topic.
O = Oh!: Describe something that caused you say “Oh!”
U = Um?: Write a question about something you learned or want to learn more about.
If they are reading a chapter in a novel, they can do this at any time.
3. Pause at the predetermined points to allow students 60 seconds to add information to their list.
4. When the movie concludes, or they have finished reading, have students complete a Pair & Share of their A-E-I-O-U statements.
