 * 1) Tony Carty—He does a really nice job using strategy #5—Whiteboard splash. He uses the white board often in class to get individual student response. This way, everyone is participating, and he can determine who understands the concepts, who needs a little more help (and who is trying to copy from someone else) J He often takes the time to let each person actually say what is on their board, instead of him just looking at it, and he usually puts a tally, or some chart on the board to show everyone where they are (ex: 5 people answered yes, 3 people answered no) Shirley will talk to Tony about modeling video taping and working with Carrie Stafieri on this video. ||

 * **7** || **Quick Write, SOAPStone**  || [[file:Wk 7 Quick Write.pdf]] ||   || Suzanne Altner - QE, grade 2
 * 1) Karen Sciarillo—She does a nice job using strategy #7—Quickwrite. About once a week, especially before a new concept, lesson, or article on Empower, she has students doe a quickwrite that gets them interested, or gets them thinking. She simultaneously allows students to share different ideas they may have, as well as introduce the new topic and get students to think about what they will be doing that class period or for the next few days. This way, they also have a reference to look back at to determine if they still agree with their thoughts, or if their thoughts changed after learning some of the new information. (The referring back is not a guided activity in class, it’s just a tool that could be used.)
