Analyzing Texts: Brainstorm in Small Student-Led Groups Before Writing (part 1) | Robótica Educativa! | Scoop.it

The Teaching Channel offers so many specific strategies for classroom teachers working with the Common Core. In this short video, a fifth grade teacher uses small group student-led discussions to brainstorm, make inferences and cite textual evidence in answering guiding questions as students prepare for a writing assignment. Addressing both Speaking and Listening and Reading Informational Text standards, this is also an effective strategy to facilitate collaborative learning.

 

The Teaching Channel demonstrates what this LOOKS and SOUNDS like.  Consider using the strategy as is, or better yet, improve upon it!
