Tomorrow I will be taking my ESL supplemental test, so in order to prepare myself properly I am allowing myself to get easily distracted. Not good!--Although, if you're looking for think tank ideas this could be good for you. :-) Yay for ADD!!
Last year we implemented think tanks during an intervention time, which was an hour long. The students were placed in groups of 2 and were responsible for reading a book, responding to the story, creating an activity, and then reviewing a skill. Each week the students went through 2 books with this same format during this hour of intervention. They eventually became independent through many weeks of practicing and lots of modeling.
Now that I have a year of these under my belt and have a better grasp of what I'd like to do I am moving to 4th grade.(did I mention a little bit of a freak out) As with anything new you learn and grow. There are lots of things I would change BUT..........RIGHT NOW I'M FREAKING OUT IN 4TH. :-)
I DO NOT have the time to tweak these or go back through them so I am sharing A Year's Worth of Think Tanks with you. Please feel free to use them any way you wish, tweak them, change them, or just use them. If I could make things easier for someone else that would make my heart happy.
Good Night!!
