Tiger Tribute
Week of: October 23rd-27th
In honor of National Red Ribbon Week...
Discovery Education Network, Spotlight on Strategies
What is it? A strategy for supporting student thinking as they watch a video
What do I need? Video Segment, Paper for each student, Writing Implements
When should I use it? This strategy should be used as you are watching a video as part of your instruction. This is a great way to gauge student understanding and processing while keeping them engaged in the video.
How do I do it? At predetermined points during the video, pause it and ask students to respond to each of the five AEIOU categories on the paper:
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.
Each time you pause the video at your predetermined points, have students add to each category as they are able. At the conclusion, have students do a pair-share, then come together as a whole group to share out.
When you use this strategy, take a picture and email it to Ashley. We will highlight some of the strategies being used on our Facebook and Twitter feeds!
