Today was the first day of literacy circles. My group had a great discussion highlighting some of the main points of the book as well as predicting what will happen next in the book. In our literacy circle, one of our group members gave a one minute summary of the book to the rest of the class. This was a great activity to give the entire close a snapshot of our individual books because we are not all reading the same books.
John, Sam, and myself did a rock, paper, scissors, cheer energizer before the break. This was an energizer that helped keep increase the energy in class. Us, as college students, really enjoyed the game so I can only imagine how effective this energizer can and will be in my future classroom.
Lastly, our class made some awesome Imovie trailers. This was an engaging strategy that incorporated technology into the day. It gave students the ability to be creative and tell a story. I particularly enjoyed this activity because it was FUN! Learning does not always have to be serious, and I would be willing to say that I learn most when I am having fun. Showing off everybody's videos to end the day was a great way to wrap up class!
Happy Spring Break All!
