Q and A from Exit Tickets Do you really read Exit Tickets? Your Ticket Out One new idea I learned today and will share with others. One new way I will focus

Q and A from Exit Tickets Could we have more information about Marzano research?

Q and A from Exit Tickets Are Lesson Essential Questions expected on our board? Should we re-write our objectives as Lesson Essential Questions? Should Essential Questions be used along with GLEs? Why do we write EQs for children who do not read?

Tonight’s Essential Questions How can states of transition be fostered in students? Why are states of transition essential to student learning?

What are transitions? The movin’ on states No particular body language Quick and fleeting Noticeable but make sense

Tip It is harder to transition someone in armchair with his/her feet up than it is to transition someone already standing. Transition students before they are stuck in a state.

Everyone Clean Up!!!! Transitioning learners without warning them gives them no time to set aside one activity to make room for another. Example: 2 minute warning

2 Types of Transition Activities Physical, Cognitive, and Emotional Breaks Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers

Physical, Cognitive, and Emotional Breaks Smooth, simple mini-activities that move students from one activity to the next (“move-ons”).

Physical, Cognitive, and Emotional Breaks Brain Breaks Cross Laterals Visualization Stretching Voting on a Topic

Cues, Questions, and Advance Organizers Ways for students to use information they already know about a topic to connect to new learning Cues and Questions have different uses

Cues Lead-in for upcoming learning Activates prior knowledge Preview of what they are about to experience Establishes expectations for students Marzano, R., Classroom Instruction That Works, p

Questions Ask before or after a learning experience Questions should focus on what is important or critical to what needs to be learned as opposed to what is unusual or interesting to the teacher Questions elicit prior knowledge Help students gain a deeper understanding of content Marzano, R., Classroom Instruction That Works, p

More about Questions Waiting briefly before accepting responses from students increases the depth of student responses. Higher level questions produce deeper learning than lower level questions. They also require longer wait time.

Advance Organizers Expository Narrative Skimming Graphic Advance

Expository Advance Organizers Describe new content to which students are to be exposed

Narrative Advance Organizers Information is presented to students in a story format

Skimming Information is skimmed before reading A BRIEF HISTORY OF TRANSPORTATION Travel by Land: In 1492 when Columbus discovered America, human travel on land was limited to walking or riding on animals such as horses. Walking speed is only about 3 miles per hour (mph). Since people are seldom willing to walk for more than one hour per day, the distance they traveled from home was usually about 1-2 miles. Horse-drawn stagecoaches transported several people at once, but only averaged about 2 mph. The most rapid land travel was by horseback; the average speed was about 7 mph. By 1800 the era of motorized vehicles had begun. In 1829, the Rocket Train in England transported passengers at an average speed of 17 mph. The Model-T Ford, introduced in the United States in 1914, had a top speed of 45 mph. By 1950, with faster automobiles, travel reached 65 mph, the highest legal speed on many interstate highways in the United States. In 1964 the Japanese Bullet Train averaged 100 mph. By 1979 the TVA high speed French train moved at an average speed of 132 mph.
