Pre-assessment and Tracking (5 students who answered most, and most…

- - - - Ranking: Invite learners to surface, review, and then rank new concepts, content, and skills that will be learned according to anticipated difficulty. Debrief by asking them to explain their reasoning, and help them use what is learned to approach the experience proactively. Use it to inform the way you support your students as well.
        Students here can have assistance in individual or group format to assist them reading and understanding concepts. The students could for example even have a dictionary to look up the words to see their meaning. If truly necessary the page numbers of the words can also be given to these students
    - - Group Read: After previewing a text, each reader underlines the post powerful or important sentence, phrase, or word. Then, the group forms a circle. One student stands and reads his or her selection. Another follows as soon as the first reader is seated, striving to continue the narrative. Students are encouraged to read selections even if others chose the same portions of the text. Listening for what is repeated helps everyone identify which portions of the text resonated most.
  - - - A Carousel of Questions: Craft a handful of powerful pre-assessment questions that will enable understanding of the needs of your students. Post each question at the top of its own chart, and hang the charts around your classroom. Ask students to carousel from one to another, adding their responses to each question to the corresponding charts.
        Students with little or no understanding can here take their time and not be pressured by the group. The students physical attention and behaviors can also be monitored without their specific knowledge.
    - - How Certain Are You? Challenge students to brainstorm everything they feel they already know about the topic at hand. Ask them to record each idea on a separate sticky note. Then, create a way for them to display these notes according to levels of certainty. For example: post a scale at the front of the room. Label the far left end of the scale “very uncertain” and the far right “very certain.” Ask learners to post their sticky notes on the scale according to how certain they feel about their background knowledge.
