I would never use this activity as ...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />I would never use this activity as a higher-level thinking assessment, just a quick assessment at the end of the lesson- one that would "take the temperature" of the class to see where we stand and where we should go next. That's why the quickness is important. The real meat & potatoes of learning and assessment comes when we leave the carpet and do our independent work.<br /><br />If you are interested in higher level thinking, there are some fun, action-based activities that Whole Brain offers- you should definitely go to their website and check it out :)<br /><br />~StephanieStephanie @ 3rd Grade Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005689559530304754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-65260711079475183702012-06-18T18:39:31.757-06:002012-06-18T18:39:31.757-06:00I don't understand how an action to a basic qu...I don't understand how an action to a basic question tells you anything about a child's higher level thinking. I find that children often give a confident yes or no answer and yet when asked to think about "why" they don't understand. I think that repetition and regurgitation are the ways that many people grew up learning but these methods do not lend itself to thinking critically or being reflective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-53995223908363216622012-06-18T09:19:39.338-06:002012-06-18T09:19:39.338-06:00Thanks so much for posting this.

Totally start small and go from there- I feel I have only scratched the surface myself! <br /><br />I started off with Class-Yes and the Scoreboard. I wanted to see if my kids even liked it or responded to it before I did more. The results were instant and I was so motivated to keep doing more. But, I could have stayed with Class-Yes and the Scoreboard all year and still had success. It's a great program and so easy, which is nice. There's a whole lesson delivery part and a whole bunch of other activities I still am reading and learning about :)<br /><br />Let me know how it goes and have fun!!<br /><br />~StephanieStephanie @ 3rd Grade Thoughtshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00005689559530304754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-46017938588396484312012-06-17T09:32:33.343-06:002012-06-17T09:32:33.343-06:00I'm going to the conference in July and am rea...I'm going to the conference in July and am really looking forward to learning more about it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8654028430423642864.post-78386508732043091572012-06-17T08:54:01.858-06:002012-06-17T08:54:01.858-06:00This has been very helpful Stephanie!
