Ideas for the Classroom:
4 Corners: The teacher asks students to stand in the middle of the room and then announces “corners” and a question with four possible answers. For example, the teacher says that the four corners of the room represent 4 characters from Charlotte’s Web: Charlotte, Wilber, Templeton, and Fern. Then, the teacher asks, “Which character from the book can you relate to most?” After a short “think time”, students go to the corner labeled with the character that they can relate with most. Once there, they must find a partner and discuss their reasoning (credit veronica http://www.dresshead.com). Later, students can write about this topic with a plethora of ideas gleaned from their own thinking and discussions with others.
