The book that we were given is very useful. I also appreciate the charts. I will go through and use some of the strategies. I brought one back for my mentee to use as well. I will share with him what we talked about in the training. I already use some of the strategies that we went over. I love doing Bloom’s Taxonomy. I do that with my language arts class now. They choose three activities to do now from the Bloom’s Taxonomy Chart that I made up. I will put up the big Bloom’s Taxonomy chart we were given and use it in my classroom as a visual. This will help them with what they have to do now. I like the way all of the “verbs” are listed. I also like the idea of “Anchor Activities”. There are many times when some of my students finish the lesson early, this way they ALWAYS have a CHOICE of something to do. This can also be used as extra credit because they are always asking me if they can do extra credit. I will probably do the multiple intelligence tests at the beginning of next school year. This will give me some good information about the way my students learn from the start! Knowing that is half the battle!
