Growth Mindset Thoughts
Instructional Strategy: Fan-N-Pick
Fan-N-Pick
Each team receives a set of question cards. These can be teacher made or student made. If students make the cards, be sure to teach them how to ask a good question and avoid yes/no or one word answer questions.
• Student 1 holds question cards in a fan and says, “Pick a card, any card!”
• Student 2 picks a card, reads the question aloud and allows 5 seconds of “think time”.
• Student 3 answers the question.
• Student 4 paraphrases [says in own words] and praises or coaches.
Students rotate roles one person clockwise for each new round.
