Eclectic Technology

Check out this activity from The Common Core Writing Book by Gretchen Owocki. One of the activities she suggests is  using a 3-2-1 strategy to help students summarize text. The student must choose three key words, find two phrases that are important and also one quote. They can then share this with a small group, and move to sharing in larger groups. The post suggests that this may used for the following (quoted from the post):

1.  Summarizing text
2. Individual accountability for reading
3. Discourse facilitation
4. Low-stakes writing
5. Strategy for comprehending complex and lengthy text
6. Structure to enable "teacher as facilitator"
