My classroom is not overly decorate for the single reason that I hate clutter; but I have managed to create and borrow ideas for strategy posters to decorate my blank white wash walls. These posters not only look neat and nice on my classroom walls, but they are constant reminders to my students to use their strategies on a daily basis.
The reading strategy which I modge-podged last year is TURNS. The steps are: 1. Read the
TITLE and make a prediction, 2. Read and
UNDERLINE key words in the questions, 3.
READ the entire passage and use strategies, 4.
NUMBER in the passage where you found your answer, 5.
SELECT the correct answer.
The math strategies in the following picture are borrowed from a co-worker.
I also created another math strategy for solving multiple choice questions. CUPS... short and sweet and to the point. The steps are:
CIRCLE the numbers in the problem, 2.
UNDERLINE code words, 3.
PICK a strategy, 4.
SOLVE.
What are some strategies that have made it to the walls of your classroom?
