| Title | Review Ideas - Part 1 |
| Body | You know how students tune you out when you start to tell them what they need to know for the test? Well, I make them make their own study sheet, instead of giving them one and going over it. It makes them do the work, and participate actively in the review process: I give all students a "bull's-eye" graphic (three circles, one inside the other.) I tell them to look through the books, handouts, notes, try to remember discussions, videos, class activities, etc. and put everything we did down on the paper: - the most important you'll-flunk-the-test-if-you-don't-know-this stuff goes in the center bull's-eye - the mostly important, need to know some but maybe not every teensy point goes in the middle ring (i.e. vocabulary units) - the we-did-this-but-probably-there'll-only-be-one-or-2-of-these-on-the-test go into the outer circle. Then we pair-share and then debrief as a class. I also ask them, during the pair-share, to circle or star the ones they personally need work on. During discussion, I validate their choices (so far, I've never had to remind them of things not listed!) I ask them what they've starred, then a show of hands for how many people also had that, and that's what I review. And as we review, I remind them that they ASKED for/needed this to be reviewed.
